They don't have intelligence. They have what I call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences.
Michael CrichtonTags: epistemology
We look not at the things which are what you would call seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal. But the things that are not seen are eternal.

Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.
Oscar WildeTags: epistemology
One of the advantages of science is that one's work, ultimately, is either replicated or it is not.

The ancient dialogue between reason and the senses is almost always more interestingly and passionately resolved in favor of the senses.
Kay Redfield JamisonTags: epistemology
You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason---if you pick the proper postulates.
Isaac AsimovTags: epistemology
Postulates are based on assumption and adhered to by faith. Nothing in the Universe can shake them.
Isaac AsimovTags: epistemology
Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.
