“I think we ripple on into others, just like a stone puts its ripples into a brook. That, for me, too, is a source of comfort. It kind of, in a sense, negates the sense of total oblivion. Some piece of ourselves, not necessarily our consciousness, but some piece of ourselves gets passed on and on and on.” ThinkingKindConsciousnessPiecesSourceComfortStonesOblivionBrooksRipple Author:Irvin D.

“There is no coherent knowledge , i.e. no uniform comprehensive account of the world and the events in it. There is no comprehensive truth that goes beyond an enumeration of details, but there are many pieces of information , obtained in different ways from different sources and collected for the benefit of the curious. The best way of presenting such knowledge is the list - and the oldest scientific works were indeed lists of facts, parts, coincidences, problems in several specialized domains.” WorldWayDifferentFactsProblemPiecesEventsInformationSourceBenefitsAccountsDetailsListsBest WayCuriousDifferent WaysUniformsCoincidenceDomainComprehensivePresenting Book:Farewell to Reason Source: Farewell to Reason
“A couple of pieces of advice for the kids who are serious about writing are: first of all, to read everything you can get your hands on so you can become familiar with different forms of writing: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, journalism.

“One problem with politics is that it is a zero sum game, i.e. politicians argue how to cut the pie smaller and smaller, by reshuffling pieces of the pie. I think this is destructive. Instead, we should be creating a bigger pie, i.e. funding the science that is the source of all our prosperity. Science is not a zero sum game.” ThinkingShouldProblemGamesPiecesCuttingSourcePoliticianCreatingBiggerProsperityArguingDestructiveZeroPieFundingZero Sum Game Author:Michio Kaku
“Certification from one source or another seems to be the most important thing to people all over the world.

“But you have to understand what that really did is that it opened these DVDs to be sources of oral history instead of puff pieces for the studio, because people involved with them being in fear of being sued by somebody, so it became another form of movie history.

“What it takes to reach this place I'm speaking about is to be in spirit. You shift who you are away from what you have, what you do, what your reputation is, what people think of you, and all of that ego-based thinking.
