“Cold-turkey deficit reduction would cause a significant recession.

“Personally, I’ve gotten so that I now use a kind of two-track analysis. First, what are the factors that really govern the interests involved, rationally considered? And second, what are the subconscious influences where the brain at a subconscious level is automatically conclusions in various ways — which, by and large, are useful — but which often malfunction? One approach is rationality… And the other is to evaluate the psychological factors that cause subconscious conclusions — many of which are wrong.” WayFirstsKindTwoUseCausesInterestLevelsBrainInfluenceInvolvedApproachTrackVariousPsychologicalFactorsConclusionAnalysisSubconsciousRationalityEvaluateMalfunction Author:Charlie Munger
“The Internet is the first technology since the printing press which could lower the cost of a great education and, in doing so, make that cost-benefit analysis much easier for most students.

“EMA research evidences strong and growing interest in leveraging log data across multiple infrastructure planning and operations management use cases. But to fully realize the potential complementary value of unstructured log data, it must be aligned and integrated with structured management data, and manual analysis must be replaced with automated approaches. By combining the RapidEngines capabilities with its existing solution, SevOne will be the first to truly integrate log data into an enterprise-class, carrier-grade performance management system.” FirstsUseValuesStrongInterestRealizingClassCasesGrowingApproachSolutionsResearchEvidencePerformancesManagementPlanningDataOperationsAnalysisEnterpriseGradesCapabilityMultipleReplacedInfrastructureIntegratedIntegratingManualsCombiningCarrierComplementaryManagement Systems Author:Jim Frey

But it is perhaps the most comprehensive, combining biography, criticism, the analysis of dance criticism, and a sort of corporate history, siting the now firmly established Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in the international cultural landscape.” FirstsBookBornStudyCreatingCriticismDiedTheaterInternationalLandscapeCorporateAnalysisTexasBiographiesComprehensiveCombining Author:Alvin Ailey
“In obedience to the feeling of reality, we shall insist that, in the analysis of propositions, nothing "unreal" is to be admitted. But, after all, if there is nothing unreal, how, it may be asked, could we admit anything unreal? The reply is that, in dealing with propositions, we are dealing in the first instance with symbols, and if we attribute significance to groups of symbols which have no significance, we shall fall into the error of admitting unrealities, in the only sense in which this is possible, namely, as objects described.” IfsFirstsMayFeelingsRealityFallGroupsObjectsErrorsInstanceSymbolsObedienceAnalysisSignificanceAttributesPropositionsUnrealAdmittingUnreality Book:Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy Source: Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy
