“I am only a footnote, but proud of the footnote I have become. My subsequent work on eliciting principles and developing the theory of interface design, so that many people will be able to do what I did is probably also footnote-worthy. In looking back at this turn-of-the-century period, the rise of a worldwide network will be seen as the most significant part of the computer revolution.” PeopleAbleTurnsPrinciplesCenturyDesignTheoryRevolutionProudPeriodsComputerWorthySignificantDevelopingLooking BackInterfacesFootnotes Author:Jef Raskin
“A taxonomy of abilities, like a taxonomy anywhere else in science, is apt to strike a certain type of impatient student as a gratuitous orgy of pedantry. Doubtless, compulsions to intellectual tidiness express themselves prematurely at times, and excessively at others, but a good descriptive taxonomy, as Darwin found in developing his theory, and as Newton found in the work of Kepler, is the mother of laws and theories.” LawMotherCertainFoundAbilityStudentsTheoryTypeIntellectualStrikesDevelopingCompulsionImpatientNewtonPedantryKeplerTaxonomy Author:Raymond Cattell

“The quantum hologram is a mechanism to explain this concept of the ancients of the Akashic Records.

“Our minds are specifically adapted to developing certain theories, and we have a science if the theories that are available to our minds happen to be close to true. Well, there is no particular reason to suppose that the intersection of true theories and theories that are accessible to the mind is very large. It may not be very large.” IfsMindWellsMayReasonHappensCertainParticularTheoryAvailableDevelopingAdaptedIntersections Author:Noam Chomsky
“There is a phrase in trade theory; it's called "kicking away the ladder." First you violate the rules - the market rules - and then by the time you succeed in developing, you kick away the ladders so others can't do it too, and you preach about "free trade."” FirstsTheorySucceedTradeDevelopingPhrasesKicksLaddersKickingFree Trade Author:Noam Chomsky
