“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children moremalleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.” WorldChildrenHelpingSchoolCreativeDevelopmentAbsolutesInevitableDiscouragingStaticTokensDissonanceAdaptiveHomogeneity Book:Worlds apart: relationships between families and schools Source: Worlds apart: relationships between families and schools
“I think mathematics is a vast territory. The outskirts of mathematics are the outskirts of mathematical civilization. There are certain subjects that people learn about and gather together. Then there is a sort of inevitable development in those fields. You get to the point where a certain theorem is bound to be proved, independent of any particular individual, because it is just in the path of development.” PeopleThinkingTogetherCertainIndividualPathSubjectsFieldsParticularDevelopmentCivilizationMathematicsIndependentBoundsMathematicalInevitableTerritoryTheorems Author:William Thurston
“The iPod is clearly a tipping point (and I'm not quite sure it is a wholly positive development), because it is a revolution in the way that we consume creative property, which I would call art. It has radically changed the relationship between the artist and the audience, how money changes hands, and how much money changes hands. Music was the first, and books are coming next. The Kindle or some form of electronic book is clearly inevitable, and it will massively reshape how books are sold, who pays for them, and how they're consumed. It is going to be really fascinating.” WayFirstsArtBookHandsFormArtistNextPayAudienceCreativeChangedRevolutionDevelopmentPropertyInevitableFascinatingConsumedIpodsKindlesTippingTipping Point Author:Malcolm Gladwell

“The clearer and deeper the public opinion of the world, in the first instance the opinion of the working masses, will understand the contradictions and the difficulties of the socialist development of an isolated country, the higher will it appreciate the results achieved. The less it identifies the fundamental methods of Socialism with the zigzags and errors of the Soviet bureaucracy, the less will be the danger that, by the inevitable revelation of these errors and of their consequences, the authority, not only of the present ruling group, but of the workers' State itself, may decline.” WorldFirstsMayCountryStatesResultsOpinionGroupsDangerDevelopmentHigherAuthorityMassConsequenceAppreciateDifficultyMethodFundamentalsErrorsWorkersDeeperSocialismInstanceInevitableRevelationsContradictionSovietIsolatedDeclineSocialistBureaucracyRulingPublic Opinion Author:Leon Trotsky
