From Outer Space 8Morgan 9

 

1st Man in Black [Jesse Ventura]: Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception. Yet you somehow brazenly declare seeing is believing? Mister Crikenson, your scientific illiteracy makes me shudder, and I wouldn't flaunt your ignorance by telling anyone that you saw anything last night other than the planet Venus, because if you do, you're a dead man.
-- Darin Morgan "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" The X-Files (1996)
