“Despite the long-term reduction in familial roles and functions, we believe that parents are still the world's greatest experts about the needs of their own children. Virtually any private or public program that supports parents, effectively supports children. This principle of supporting family vitality seems to us preferable to any policy that would have the state provide children directly with what it thinks they need.” ThinkingWorldNeedsBelieveChildrenLongStillsStatesSeemsParentTermPrinciplesRolesSupportPolicyProgramFunctionDespiteLong TermExpertsVitalityReduction Book:All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure Source: All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.” WorldMindMeanMadeReasonFormValuesMemoriesActingBrainPrinciplesFailingDiversityComputerProgramHistoricalDrivenScalesInternalsCategoriesCriteriaConstraintsAnalogies Author:Gerald Edelman
