“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.” ThinkingGivingPurposeReadyOughtSkillsFairsScientistPhilosopherExtremesTechniqueCynicalMethodologyInvestigatingBiceps Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset

“Once one realizes that magick works, and that it works based on scientific factors, the next step is to hone one's skill to reach repetitive success. What makes magick so interesting is that because we are individuals, the combination that unlocks the door to success will vary from person to person, yet the main thrust of the work operates on a specific set of scientific formulas that our scientists are only now beginning to fathom. The mystery, then, lies within each of us.” PersonsLyingNextIndividualRealizingInterestingStepsDoorsMysterySkillsScientistFactorsCombinationFormulasVaryThrustNext StepsFathomRepetitive Author:Silver RavenWolf
“The truth is that once you get down on the trading floor, you find that the traders come from all walks of life. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a trader. In fact, some of the best traders whom I knew down on the floor were surf bums. Formal education didn't really seem to have much to do with a person's skill as a trader.” PersonsFactsSeemsWalksTruth IsSkillsScientistFormalTradingRocketsSurfTradersWalks Of LifeFormal EducationTrading Floor Author:Linda Bradford Raschke
“One of the skills of a journalist, though, is to find people who can teach him what he needs to know. So instead of taking courses, I've been very lucky in that I found teachers - scientists, especially - who were willing to teach me what I needed to know, whether it was about genetically modified crops or how photosynthesis works, and so on. I just find my teachers and don't have to pay for my education.” PeopleKnowsNeedsCoursesFoundPayTeachTeacherWillingNeededLuckySkillsScientistJournalistCropsGenetically ModifiedPhotosynthesis Author:Michael Pollan
“The ability to work with systems of general equilibrium is perhaps one of the most important skills of the economist - a skill which he shares with many other scientists, but in which he has perhaps a certain comparative advantage.” ImportantCertainAbilityShareSkillsAdvantageScientistEconomistEquilibriumComparative Advantage Author:Kenneth E.

“I think science has a better story to tell than anyone else has been able to tell and that's because it's based on the rigorous winnowing that science and scientists are always doing in order to find out what's really happening. I think it's really good to encourage generally our ability to tell stories and that's a great skill that we come by naturally, so I'm excited about that.” ThinkingHas BeensStoriesAbleOrderAbilitySkillsHappeningsScientistExcited Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else. A technical hitch, for example, is more likely to be solved quickly and imaginatively if scientists (including scientists from different countries) pool their talents rather than compete against one another.” IfsHas BeensDifferentCountryProblemEffortTalentExampleSkillsApproachScientistOvercomingIncludingPoolContrastEnd TimesSpend TimeCooperativesDifferent CountriesDuplication Author:Alfie Kohn
