“None of the three great apes is considered ancestral to modern man, Homo sapiens, but they remain the only other type of extant primate with which human beings share such close physical characteristics. From them we may learn much concerning the behavior of our earliest primate prototypes, because behavior, unlike bones, teeth, or tools, does not fossilize.” MenHumansMayDoeThreeHuman BeingsShareModernTypeBehaviorToolsBonesTeethCharacteristicsBiologyWildlifeApesHomo SapiensModern ManPrimatesPrototype Book:Gorillas in the Mist Source: Gorillas in the Mist

“The difficulty in judging what type of behavior works well arises not only because a given course of action does not always produce the outcomes. Similar outcomes can occur for reasons other than the person's actions, which further complicates inferential judgment. Effects that arise independently of one's actions distort the influence of similar effects produced by the actions, but only on some occasions. Given a strong cognitive set to perceive regularities, even chance joint occurrences of events can be easily misjudged as genuine relationships of low contingent probability” WellsPersonsDoeReasonActionCoursesStrongGivenChanceInfluenceEffectsEventsProduceJudgingTypeBehaviorJudgmentLowsDifficultyGenuineAriseOccasionsPerceiveOutcomesProbabilityJointsCognitiveRegularitySelf Efficacy Author:Albert Bandura

“Well the thing is that under the [Ronald] Reagan administration, excesses have occurred in terms of over regulating certain types of behavior, and excesses have occurred in the opposite direction, in de-regulating other types of behavior. As a matter of fact, if they continue to regulate the airlines, we might have safer skies, and if they slack off on the radio, we might have better radio. If they just use it as a threat, eventually there's going to be another test case like the one that the 7 dirty words ruling came out of, and basically, its extortion.” IfsWellsMatterFactsUseMightCertainTermCasesSkyTypeBehaviorTestsOppositesThreatRadioAdministrationDirtyExcessRulingAirlineMatter Of FactDirty WordsExtortion Author:Frank Zappa
“Behaviors and lifestyles that are classified as "normal" rarely get so generalized, public perception of heterosexual relationships, for instance, or of the "white" experience, allow for the infinite variety of experiences that exist under such headings, but people love to reduce the vastness of individuality and subjectivity within marginalized types of experience.” PeopleWhiteTypeBehaviorNormalPerceptionInfiniteIndividualityLifestyleInstanceVarietyHeadingsSubjectivityVastnessMarginalized Author:Melissa Febos

“Do what he will, he [the profane man] is an inheritor. He cannot utterly abolish his past, since he himself is a product of his past. He forms himself by a series of denials and refusals, but he continues to be haunted by the realities that he has refused and denied. To acquire a world of his own, he has desacralized the world in which his ancestors lived; but to do so he has been obliged to adopt an earlier type of behavior, and that behavior is still emotionally present in him, in one form or another, ready to be reactualized in his deepest being.” MenWorldHas BeensStillsRealityPastFormReadyProductsTypeBehaviorSeriesDenialAcquireDeniedAncestorObligedRefusalAbolishProfane Author:Mircea Eliade
