“Behaviorism proposes to study human behavior according to the methods developed by animal and infant psychology. It seeks to investigate reflexes and instincts, automatisms and unconscious reactions. But it has told us nothing about the reflexes that have built cathedrals, railroads, and fortresses, the instincts that have produced philosophies, poems, and legal systems, the automatisms that have resulted in the growth and decline of empires, the unconscious reactions that are splitting atoms.” HumansPhilosophyGrowthAnimalStudyPsychologyBehaviorBuiltMethodInstinctReactionsUnconsciousEmpiresAtomsDeclineHuman BehaviorInfantProposeCathedralsRailroadsReflexesLegal SystemFortressesSplittingBehaviorismSplitting The Atom Author:Ludwig von Mises
“In the history of the world the prize has not gone to those species which specialized in methods of violence, or even in defensive armor.

But smaller animals, without external armor, warm-blooded, sensitive, alert, have cleared those monsters off the face of the earth.” WorldHardFactsEarthFacesAnimalGoneViolenceMethodSpeciesIllWarmDefenseMonstersSensitivePrizeShellsWorld HistoryArmor Author:Alfred North Whitehead
“Man is an Animal, formidable both from his Passions and his Reason; his Passions often urging him to great Evils, and his Reason furnishing Means to achieve them. To train this Animal, and make him amenable to Order; to inure him to a Sense of Justice and Virtue, to withhold him from ill Courses by Fear, and encourage him in his Duty by Hopes; in short, to fashion and model him for Society, hath been the Aim of civil and religious Institutions; and, in all Times, the Endeavour of good and wise Men. The aptest Method for attaining this End, hath been always judged a proper Education.” MenMeanEndsReasonOrderPassionCoursesEvilReligiousJusticeAnimalEducationVirtueWiseAchieveFashionDutyModelsAimMethodInstitutionsTrainIllAll TimeEndeavorJudgedFormidableAmenable Author:George Berkeley
