“Our schools offer no conception of the scientific process of discovery. They do not encourage creative thought, in fact, they stifle it through too much rigidity in teaching. If we set out to give as little help as possible to originality in science, we could hardly devise a better plan than our education system. Youngsters ought to be told what is unknown about ourselves and our universe as well as what is known.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesFactsHelpingSchoolUniverseProcessKnownCreativeToo MuchPlansTeachingIgnoranceOughtOffersDiscoveryConceptionOriginalityEducation SystemYoungstersRigidityCreative ThoughtLittle Help Author:William Lipscomb

“Ignorance and greed are part of the evolutionary process, which is just to say that mistakes are part of learning.

“What is intelligence, anyway It is only a word that people use to name those unknown processes with which our brains solve problems we call hard. But whenever you learn a skill yourself, you're less impressed or mystified when other people do the same. This is why the meaning of 'intelligence' seems so elusive: It describes not some definite thing but only the momentary horizon of our ignorance about how minds might work.” PeopleMindHardUseProblemSeemsMightNamesProcessBrainIgnoranceSkillsSolveHorizonImpressedDefiniteElusiveMomentaryKilling Yourself Author:Marvin Minsky

“The fuel on which science runs is ignorance. Science is like a hungry furnace that must be fed logs from the forests of ignorance that surround us. In the process, the clearing we call knowledge expands, but the more it expands, the longer its perimeter and the more ignorance comes into view.” RunningProcessViewsIgnoranceHungryForestsFuelFedsSurroundClearingFurnacesPerimeter Author:Matt Ridley
“The unawakened mind tends to make war against the way things are. To follow a path with heart, we must understand the whole process of making war within ourselves and without, how it begins and how it ends. War’s roots are in ignorance. Without understanding we can easily become frightened by life’s fleeting changes, the inevitable losses, disappointments, the insecurity of our aging and death. Misunderstanding leads us to fight against life, running from pain or grasping at security and pleasures that by their nature can never be satisfying.” WayMindHeartWarEndsWholeRunningPainFightingProcessUnderstandingLossPleasurePathSecurityIgnoranceRootsAgingDisappointmentInevitableInsecurityFrightenedSatisfyingMisunderstandingFleetingGrasping Author:Jack Kornfield
