“While it may seem a little mundane, the material realities of realizing the painting actually have a lot to do with how you should read the painting. For example, we assume that what the model is wearing is what we found him in in the streets. No; in fact, a lot of what happens is that in Photoshop certain aspects are being heightened or diminished. There is no actual material truth in these paintings.” ShouldMayLittlesFactsRealitySeemsHappensCertainFoundRealizingStreetsExamplePaintingMaterialsModelsAspectAssumingMundanePhotoshop Author:Kehinde Wiley

“In studying language we can discover many basic properties of this cognitive structure, its organization, and also the genetic predispositions that provide the foundation for its development.

And second, I think it may provide a suggestive model for the study of other cognitive systems. And the collection of these systems is one aspect of human nature.” ThinkingTryingFirstsHumansMayLanguageStudyHuman NatureDevelopmentMajorsModelsAspectOrganizationFoundationStructurePropertyFeaturesCollectionsCognitiveLinguistics Author:Noam Chomsky
“For one thing, studying language is by itself a part of a study of human intelligence that is, perhaps, the central aspect of human nature.
