“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure.

Some of what he says is reasonable. The marriage of politics and science is the problem. Basically he's just saying be a skeptic because in the past individual scientists have made poor predictions. I would always suggest not putting all your chips into one person. Why real science works is because of the peer review system. While not perfect, it's a system that has gotten us pretty advanced.
