“In trying to get votes for the Superconducting Super Collider, I was very much involved in lobbying members of Congress, testifying to them, bothering them, and I never heard any of them talk about postmodernism or social constructivism. You have to be very learned to be that wrong.”–Steven Weinberg, “Night Thoughts of a Quantum Physicist” (February 1995); republished in Facing Up: Science And Its Cultural Adversaries (2001)
