“The point, which can hardly be repeated too often, is that differentiation is not separation. The head and the feet are different, but not separate, and though man is not connected to the universe by exactly the same physical relation as branch to tree or feet to head, he is nonetheless connected - and by physical relations of fascinating complexity.” MenDifferentMotivationalUniverseTreeFeetRelationConnectedSeparationComplexityBranchesFascinatingOften IsDifferentiation Book:The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are Source: The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
“The branches of mathematics are as various as the sciences to which they belong, and each subject of physical enquiry has its appropriate mathematics. In every form of material manifestation, there is a corresponding form of human thought, so that the human mind is as wide in its range of thought as the physical universe in which it thinks.” ThinkingMindHumansFormUniverseSubjectsMaterialsMathematicsVariousWideRangeManifestationBranchesAppropriateHuman MindCorrespondingHuman ThoughtEnquiry Author:Benjamin Peirce
“Science has an uncomfortable way of pushing human beings from center stage. In our prescientific stories, humans began as the focal point of Nature, living on an Earth that was the center of the universe. As the origins of the Earth and of mankind were investigated more carefully, it became clear that Nature had other interests beyond people, and the Earth was less central than previously hoped. Humankind was just one branch of the great family of life, and the Earth is a smallish planet orbiting an unexceptional sun quite far out on one arm of a run-of-the-mill spiral galaxy.” PeopleWayHumansStoriesRunningEarthUniverseInterestHuman BeingsSunClearMankindStagePlanetsArmsUncomfortableBranchesJust OnePushingHumankindGalaxyLiving OnMillsSpiralsCenter Of The UniverseGreat FamilyFocal PointCenter Stage Author:Seth Lloyd

“I spent the first few years of my life in a smallish community in Queens. Back in those early days, kids could roam the streets with relatively little supervision and one place I visited frequently was the local library. This particular branch was little more than a storefront but to me it was an alternative universe where I could explore my interests and receive kind, informative answers to my questions from the wonderful librarians.” YearsFirstsKindLittlesKidsUniverseInterestCommunityAnswersWonderfulStreetsParticularLibraryLocalsAlternativesQueensBranchesLibrarianSupervisionInformative Author:Jonathan Kellerman
