More From Thomas Huxley

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.

When things get bad enough, then something happens to correct the course. and it's for that reason that i speak about evolution as an error-making and an error-correcting process. and if we can be ever so much better - ever so much slightly better - at error correcting than at error making, then we'll make it.
Errors Evolution Speak
The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. they are nothing of the sort. what the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.
