“All the followers of science are fully persuaded that the processes of investigation, if only pushed far enough, will give one certain solution to each question to which they can be applied....

The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“It is only when we have ceased to be the followers of our followers that we comprehend how meaningless followers are.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
