True Authority

Another good quote from The Black Swan.

"We no longer believe in Papal infallibility; we seem to believe in the infallibility of the Nobel, though."

I would want to take a Protestant twist on this. I do not believe in the infallibility of the Pope, either, but I do believe in the infallibility of the Bible. And I would further say that the infallibility of the Bible enables me to take great courage over the presumed authority of the Nobel, whether in Science, Literature or any other discipline.

I am still of the opinion that the Queen of the Sciences is Theology. All disciplines must bow to her.
