“Our work on light bulbs wasn't an arbitrary mandate. We didn't just pick a standard out of the air, or look for a catchy sounding standard like 25 by 2025 not based in science or feasibility. Instead, we worked with both industry and environmental groups to come up with a standard that made sense and was doable.” LooksMadeLightGroupsAirIndustryStandardsPicksEnvironmentalCome UpArbitraryMandatesBulbsCatchyLight BulbFeasibility Author:Fred Upton

“One night, a group of moths gathered on a shelf watching a burning candle. Puzzled by the nature of the light, they sent one of their members to go and check on it. The scouting moth circled the candle several times and came back with a description: The light was bright. Then a second moth went to examine it. He, too, came back with an observation: The light was hot. Finally a third moth volunteered to go. When he approached the candle he didn't stop like his friends had done, but flew straight into the flame. He was consumed there and then, and only he understood the nature of the light.” DoneLightNightGroupsMembersUnderstoodThirdsHotChecksObservationBurningFlamesDescriptionCandleShelvesConsumedOne NightFlewMothsPuzzledScouting Author:Elif Safak
“Because those who hold conspiracy theories typically suffer from a crippled epistemology, in accordance with which it is rational to hold such theories, the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups. Various policy dilemmas, such as the question whether it is better for government to rebut conspiracy theories or to ignore them, are explored in this light.” LightGovernmentSufferingGroupsPolicyTheoryResponseVariousRationalConspiracyDilemmaExtremistCognitiveEpistemologyConspiracy TheoryCrippledInfiltrationExtremist Groups Author:Cass Sunstein
“Historically, religious groups have been most effective when they have stood apart from government and critiqued the performance of government in light of their ethical traditions.

“A really sublime moment is that when the last ray of light breaks in upon the soul, and marshals into a single group all the scattered disconnected truths there. There is such a vast difference between the moment which follows, and the moment which precedes this one, between what we were before, and what we are after, that the word grace has been invented to convey the idea of this magic stroke, of this light from on high.” Has BeensIdeasSoulMomentsLightLastsDifferencesBreakGraceMagicGroupsRaysSublimeStrokesDisconnectedRays Of Light Author:Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire
“I'm in a weird position, because I like rainbows, but I'm not gay. So whenever I go out wearing a rainbow shirt, I have to put "Not gay."

“I was on a panel with light skinned Blacks and a famous gay science fiction writer, who were complaining about how Blacks are against gays and light skinned Blacks and how intolerant Blacks are of different groups. My position was that Blacks were among the most humanistic, tolerant groups in the country and that across the street from my house in Oakland was one inhabited by White gays.” DifferentCountryLightHouseWhiteFictionGroupsStreetsPositionGayScience FictionComplainingFiction WritersHumanisticOakland Author:Ishmael Reed
