The university is well equipped to produce that sort of person, and this means that the best among the people who enter must for four years wander aimlessly much of the time questioning why they are on campus at all, doubting whether there is any point in what they are doing, and looking toward a very bleak existence afterward in a game in which all of the rules have been made up, which one cannot really amend.” PeopleYearsWellsMeanPersonsHas BeensMadeTurnsGamesExistenceDoubtFourProduceUniversityEdgesWanderFour YearsQuestioningWornCampusBleakWell RoundedSharp EdgesQuestioning Why Author:Mario Savio

“A parent does not do everything for their kid. A parent that does everything for their kid produces a kid with no self-confidence. If our parents fixed everything for us and did not allow us to do anything on our own, or intervened every single time, we would all grow up to be completely dependent. The reason we grow up to be healthy adults is because our parents played this game of giving us responsibility, disciplining us when necessary, letting us try, letting us fail.” IfsGivingTryingDoeSelfReasonKidsGamesGrowsParentResponsibilityGrowing UpFailingProduceHealthyAdultsSelf ConfidenceFixedDependent Author:Simon Sinek

“Of the properties of mathematics, as a language, the most peculiar one is that by playing formal games with an input mathematical text, one can get an output text which seemingly carries new knowledge. The basic examples are furnished by scientific or technological calculations: general laws plus initial conditions produce predictions, often only after time-consuming and computer-aided work. One can say that the input contains an implicit knowledge which is thereby made explicit.” MadeLawGamesLanguageConditionsExampleProduceComputerMathematicsPropertyMathematicalCarriePlusPeculiarFormalTechnologicalPredictionsInitialsConsumingCalculationsInputExplicitOutputImplicitTime ConsumingNew Knowledge Author:IU?.

“The bad player is the one who tries to calculate and play with the odds, as if his game, his life, were one of a large number of games.
