“Thus those reformers, who look for a remedy by creating artificial carrying-costs for the money through the device of requiring legal-tender currency to be periodically stamped at a prescribed cost in order to retain its quality as money, or in analogous ways, have been on the right track; and the practical value of their proposals deserves consideration.” WayLooksHas BeensValuesOrderQualityCostCreatingDeserveTrackPracticalsConsiderationDevicesArtificialRemedyCurrencyProposalReformersRight Track Author:John Maynard Keynes
“The question of whether a device will come into being depends upon three things: first, whether there is a practical use for it that warrants its development and manufacturing costs; second, whether the laws of physics applying to the elements available for its design allow the attainment of the needed ranges, sensitivities, or the like; and third, whether the pertinent art of manufacture has advanced sufficiently to allow a useful embodiment to be built successfully.” FirstsArtUseLawThreeDesignDependsDevelopmentNeededCostElementsBuiltThirdsAvailablePhysicsPracticalsRangeDevicesSensitivityThree ThingsAttainmentManufacturingEmbodimentWarrantsLaws Of PhysicsPertinent Book:MODERN ARMS AND FREE MEN: A DISCUSSION OF THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN PRESERVING DEMOCRACY Source: MODERN ARMS AND FREE MEN: A DISCUSSION OF THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN PRESERVING DEMOCRACY
“The film is better for me than the sitcom. But the sitcom is like much more practical approach, if I may say that, because of the cost. Everything costs money, a lot of people don't realize that.” PeopleIfsMayFilmRealizingCostApproachPracticalsSitcom Author:Tommy Wiseau
“The costs of an ignorance of science are nor just practical ones like misbegotten policies, forgone cures, and a unilateral disarmament in national competitiveness. There is a moral cost as well. It is an astonishing fact about our species that we understand so much about the history of the universe. the forces that make it tick, the stuff it's made of; the origin of living things, and the machinery of life. A failure to nurture this knowledge shows a philistine indifference to the magnificent achievements humanity is capable of; like allowing a great work of art to molder in a warehouse.” WellsArtMadeFactsShowsHumanityUniverseForceStuffMoralPolicyIgnoranceCostAchievementCapableSpeciesPracticalsCuresIndifferenceWorks Of ArtAllowingMagnificentNurtureMachineryGreat WorkLiving ThingsAstonishingDisarmamentTickCompetitivenessWarehousePhilistines Author:Steven Pinker
