“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias. Instead, introverts tend to turn inward, the laboratory of being and all its forms. This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.” HumansFormTurnsIndividualUnderstandingHuman BeingsRoomsCommonStudyToo MuchWindBehaviorReflectionConnectionsUniversalInternationalPhilosopherCurrentsDisappearLifestyleLimitationAffectedAttributesAccurateBiasInwardIntrovertHuman BehaviorLaboratoryRelevanceIntroverted Author:Criss Jami
“When we consider the close connection between science and industrial development on the one hand, and between literary and aesthetic cultivation and an aristocratic social organization on the other, we get light on the opposition between technical scientific studies and refining literary studies. We have before us the need of overcoming this separation in education if society is to be truly democratic.” IfsNeedsHandsLightSocialStudyDevelopmentConnectionsOrganizationOvercomingDemocraticSeparationOppositionAestheticCultivationRefiningAristocraticSocial Organization Book:Democracy And Education Source: Democracy And Education

“General Systems Theory is a name which has come into use to describe a level of theoretical model-building which lies somewhere between the highly generalized constructions of pure mathematics and the specific theories of the specialized disciplines. Mathematics attempts to organize highly general relationships into a coherent system, a system however which does not have any necessary connections with the "real" world around us. It studies all thinkable relationships abstracted from any concrete situation or body of empirical knowledge.” WorldDoeRealUseBodyLyingNamesLevelsSituationStudyBuildingTheoryDisciplinePureModelsConnectionsMathematicsReal WorldConstructionConcreteOrganizeTheoreticalThinkableSystems Theory Author:Kenneth E.

“Ever since I was a child I've had a passion for colors and a sixth sense and known how to use it. I started in fashion, but I got side-tracked by psychology and its color connection. I went back to school and got both my degrees in psychology, but I kept studying design. Color has an application in all of those fields.” ChildrenUseSchoolPassionSidesKnownStudyPsychologyFashionDesignFieldsColorDegreesConnectionsApplicationSixth Sense Author:Leatrice Eiseman
“The climate system is constantly readjusting naturally in a large way - more than we would ever see from CO2. The CO2 kick [impact of CO2 emissions] is extremely small compared to what is happening in a natural way. Within the framework of a proper study of the sun-climate connection, you don't need CO2 to explain anything.” WayNeedsNaturalSunStudyHappeningsConnectionsImpactClimateKicksFrameworkEmissionsCo2Co2 Emissions Author:Willie Soon
“In the early days of the military Arpanet, my daughter was studying in Nicaragua. Because the U.S. was essentially at war with them, contact was difficult.
