"How far you go in life depends on yourbeing tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with thestriving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life youwill have been all of these." -George Washington Carvers

"If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't." - Lyall Watson

U, ja, tale je zlo huda! Sem se parkrat tud sam poigraval z mislimi na temo objektivne resnice (mislim, da je to pravi izraz - al je absolutna resnica?!?) -kako veš, da je nekaj, kar vidiš, resnično, stvarno, in ne plod domišljije, recimo tvojega uma, duha, oziroma nečesa eteričnega? -kako veš, da nekaj, kar držiš v roki, dejansko obstaja? -kako veš, da so tvoja roka, glava(možgani) resnični, stvarni? mal matrice...? Kako lahko dokažemo, da vse to ni zgolj plod našega uma (ali v primeru matrice celo nekega zunanjega sistema, ki prikrito manipulira z našim umom), če pa vse občutke, zaznave sprejemamo, hranimo in obdelujemo z umom? Zadnji ultimativni dokaz o čemerkoli je vedno stvar uma! - tastaturo čutim s prsti, živci na prstih le prenašajo signale v možgane, kjer jih moj um obdeluje in sestavlja v večjo 'skupno sliko' vseh povezanih signalov. Spet um signale iz oči sprejema, obdeluje in pretvarja v večjo 'skupno sliko', ki trdi, da vidimo prste klofati po tastaturi. Ali lahko ločim, kdaj je ta skupna slika posledica nečesa stvarnega in kdaj se moj um igra z menoj, prek t.i. 'bujne domišljije'?

...trije dobri na to temo: "Ignorance is bliss" "Več človek ve, bolj dvomi." Pio II pa celo en zanimiv iz svetega pisma se najde za zraven: "Kajti kjer je veliko modrosti, je veliko žalosti, kdor si veča znanje, si veča bolečino." Sveto Pismo, Pridigar (Kohelet) 1,18

"Majority is always wrong, minority is rarely right" - Herik Ibsen "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Steve Jobs

Večerne novice se začnejo z 'dober večer', nato sledi razlaga, zakaj to ne drži.

Problems that we are facing today in fields like science and economics are so vast and so complex, that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. The more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solution to these problems. -- Susan Cain in k temu še Wilde: "The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius." -- Oscar Wilde
