“You have to be aware that whenever you leave your house, you're probably going to be photographed by someone somewhere. Maybe those pictures will surface. Maybe they won't.

“Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't matter what's happening underneath. Simplicity isn't the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavours, but to a Thai that's important, it's the complexity they delight in.” ThinkingImportantMatterElementsHappeningsComplexesMusicalSimplicityDelightSurfaceComplexitySmoothChordsHarmoniousJugglingFlavourWesternersThaiThai Food Author:David
“Cultivate an ongoing stream of self-description, telling yourself what is happening. Get used to the idea that mind can penetrate the immediate surface of being and reveal the tactile density of it as a manifold whose measure cannot be immediately taken by the eyes, that it's deep, it's connected, it's complex. Everything holds within itself the anticipation and the memory of everything else.” MindIdeasSelfEyeUsedMemoriesTakenHappeningsComplexesConnectedSurfaceStreamsDescriptionAnticipationOngoingPenetrateDensityManifoldTactile Author:Terence McKenna

“I know that when I think of myself as being utterly worn out, when I think that somehow I have nothing more to write, then something is happening within me. And, in due course, it bubbles up; it comes to the surface, and then I do my best to listen. But there's nothing mystical about all this. I suppose all writers do the same.” ThinkingKnowsWritingCoursesHappeningsDuesSurfaceBubblesWornMysticalWorn Out Author:Jorge Luis Borges
“Whatever happens on the surface, it's leading us in a direction.

“Beneath the ocean surface, bad things are happening. Increasing CO2 makes ocean water more acid, and that threatens to dissolve the shells of some ocean animals.

“I don't like to put too much effort into things.

“It's likely that CO2 has some warming effect, but real proof of that hypothesis is tricky. You have to confirm by observation exactly how the CO2 changes the situation at different altitudes in the atmosphere and in different regions of the world. For example, CO2 is supposed to warm the upper air faster than the surface, but the measurements don't show that happening. When the CO2 effect is eventually pinned down, it will probably turn out to be weaker and much less worrisome than predicted by the global warming theorists.” WorldDifferentRealShowsTurnsSituationAirEffectsExampleHappeningsWarmSurfaceProofObservationFasterAtmosphereGlobal WarmingRegionsHypothesisMeasurementTrickyTheoristsCo2 Author:Nigel Calder

“Radical transparency is critical to having an idea meritocracy because it shows what's actually happening without spin and prevents people from maneuvering politically behind each others' backs.

“Climate scientists think of nothing but climate and then express their concerns in terms of constructs such as global mean surface temperature.
