All quotes about:
philosophical fundamentalist-religion mind
As a scientist, I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise. It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known. It subverts science and saps the intellect. Richard Dawkins
philosophical essence genius
The essence of genius is to know what to overlook. William James
philosophical quality ethics
An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible. William James

Who can blind lover's eyes? Virgil

None but himself can be his parallel. Virgil

He enters the port with a full sail. Virgil
science opportunity progress
If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. Richard P. Feynman
science opportunity thinking
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain … In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar. Richard P. Feynman
science measurement momentum
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory. Richard P. Feynman
science progress theory
Progress in science comes when experiments contradict theory. Richard P. Feynman
science thinking law
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree with the known laws of physics. ... It requires imagination to think of what's possible, and then it requires an analysis back, checking to see whether it fits, whether its allowed, according to what's known, okay? Richard P. Feynman
science names bird
You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. Richard P. Feynman
science play theoretical-physics
It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics. Richard P. Feynman
science progress trying
We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress. Richard P. Feynman
science thinking doubt
Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show. Richard P. Feynman
engineering two mind
In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the best and most efficient engine, and this constitutes one of the few famous cases in which engineering has contributed to fundamental physical theory. Another example that comes to mind is the more recent analysis of information theory by Claude Shannon. These two analyses, incidentally, turn out to be closely related. Richard P. Feynman
engineering gmos people
The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded.... I fear that, if the green movement's high-amplitude warnings over GMOs turn out to be empty, people will be dangerously disinclined to listen to other and more serious warnings. Richard Dawkins
engineering indulge-in luxury
George Washington was quite a farmer. He was a farmer, Civil Engineer and gentleman. He made enough at civil engineering to indulge in both the other luxuries. Will Rogers
engineering design architecture
Architecture begins where engineering ends. Walter Gropius
engineering progress banking
Progress is cumulative in science and engineering, but cyclical in finance. James Grant
engineering important problem
The most troublesome problem which confronts social engineering is how to provide for the untalented and, what is equally important, how to provide against them. Eric Hoffer
engineering able social
Both social engineering and technical attacks played a big part in what I was able to do. It was a hybrid. I used social engineering when it was appropriate, and exploited technical vulnerabilities when it was appropriate. Kevin Mitnick
engineering keys information
The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network. Kevin Mitnick
engineering organization deception
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker. Kevin Mitnick
