The NYT has an interesting article on Freeman Dyson and his views on science. I recommend reading it. I also recommend reading the book Project Orion, by George Dyson (Freeman’s son).

I think there’s a big difference between “encouraging skepticism” and “marketing doubt”. When we run out of people like Dyson then we’re truly in trouble.
There is an interesting recent essay Birds and Frogs by Dyson himself.
For those with little time, there is a short and funny video
synopsis of George Dyson’s investigation of Project Orion
