About This Quote
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy. This is a quote that captures a true ignorance of science. Those who do not understand science are often considered dumb. In reality, being ignorant about science does not necessarily make someone dumb.
However, the quote is absolutely true. For example, if you have never seen a sunset or sunrise, you can still say that you have seen a sunset or sunrise. You have your own personal experiences to draw upon to make your opinion about this phenomenon.
This is how it should be when discussing anything nonscientific. If you don’t know something, talk to someone who does know about it and ask them questions.
