Human Behavior Quotes

“it seems that once again people engage in a search for evidence that is biased toward confirmation. Asked to assess the similarity of two entities, people pay more attention to the ways in which they are similar than to the ways in which they differ. Asked to assess dissimilarity, they become more concerned with differences than with similarities. In other words, when testing a hypothesis of similarity, people look for evidence of similarity rather than dissimilarity, and when testing a hypothesis of dissimilarity, they do the opposite. The relationship one perceives between two entities, then, can vary with the precise form of the question that is asked”

“How do we distinguish between the legitimate skepticism of those who scoffed at cold fusion, and the stifling dogma of the seventeenthcentury clergymen who, doubting Galileo's claim that the earth was not the center of the solar system, put him under house arrest for the last eight years of his life? In part, the answer lies in the distinction between skepticism and closed-mindedness. Many scientists who were skeptical about cold fusion nevertheless tried to replicate the reported phenomenon in their own labs; Galileo's critics refused to look at the pertinent data.”

“Sapiens (Sonnet 1410) Sapiens is a promise to stand grounded in people, Sapiens is a duty to stand firm on principle. Sapiens is an alarm to wake up from apathy, Sapiens is mindful revolt against inherited atrocity. Sapiens is rightful rebellion against dehumanizing intellect, Sapiens is sentient uproar against puritanism boneheaded. Sapiens is the saintly answer to the clarion call of life, True sapiens is saintly sapiens, all else is desecration of life.”

“After the dinosaurs, it is us the humans that have become the dominant species on planet earth. However, unlike the dinosaurs, we have become the rulers of this planet not by ferociousness, but by intelligence, even though we are no less ferocious than them.”

“These are all common principles of salesmanship. The most ignorant peddler applies them. Yet the salesman-in-print very often forgets them. He talks about his interest. He blazons a name, as though that was of importance. His phrase is, “Drive people to the stores,” and that is his attitude in everything he says. People can be coaxed but not driven. Whatever they do they do to please themselves. Many fewer mistakes would be made in advertising if these facts were never forgotten.”

“Sapiens Impossible (The Sonnet) If my existence isn't impossible, I do not wanna exist. If my legacy isn't impossible, I do not want to live. If my breath doesn't breathe life, I don't wanna take another breath. If my veins don't invigorate another, I have no need for such useless veins. If my heart isn't proof of love impossible, May this be the last time my heart beats. If this being isn't the bridge of oneness, May the bugs have a feast on some good eats. I don't wanna live as a weakling of the jungle. If I must live I'll live as sapiens impossible.”

“When it comes to behavior, there is not one, but two types of behavior, one that is instinctual - the kind of behavior that helped our ancestors survive the harshness of the jungle, then there is the behavior of a civilized being - a behavior that is driven by thought and warmth - the behavior of a caring and conscientious human.”

“For the society to sustain itself and progress at the same time, there must be a healthy interaction between order and chaos. Remember, every feat of originality is born of chaos, but to make that feat effective in society, a little order is required.”
