Doubt everything

De omnibus dubitandum.

René Descartes (1596-1650)

While this was rumoured to be Karl Marx‘s favorite motto, it immediately brings to mind the motto of the Royal Society: Nullius in verba.

One thought

  1. I like this. It reminds me of a time I deliberately lied to a particularly clingy adult-ed group who refused to ask questions for fear of feeling foolish in front of the rest of the class. After the big reveal (in which I pointed out that they had all been daft for believing me without question, just because I stand up waving a board-marker about) – I found that they would henceforth prefer to questions rather than stay quiet. Good times 🙂
