[Quote No.68863] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Curiously asking questions, exploring, learning and growing can be fun - absorbing, attention and focus grabbing and 'flow' inducing:] One thing I can definitely say after fifteen years of QI [the show he developed and produced about 'Quite Interesting' facts in a funny game-show-like format] research is that nothing is as it appears; nothing is as simple or obvious as it seems. Everything has an underside – an engine room as it were – something hidden deep inside it which is completely astonishing. ... When I started QI, only about five per cent of people that I talked to understood what it was really getting at. They said: 'Oh, it's a game', but I would say: 'No, it’s a principle'. The principle at the core of QI is that literally everything in the universe without exception is interesting – if looked at long enough or closely enough or from the right angle. This is a philosophy that really works. Over and over again we have proved that something that looks dull is not dull. It works for anything – any country, any fruit, any town, any house, any person. " - John Lloyd
He is a television producer and presenter who has been responsible for some of the most innovative and influential UK comedies of the last thirty years, in honour of which he received, in 2011, a CBE for services to broadcasting. In the 1970s and '80s, he worked on programmes such as 'The News Quiz', 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', 'Not the Nine O’Clock News', 'Spitting Image' and 'Blackadder', and went on to direct a series of award-winning adverts, including the Barclaycard series featuring Rowan Atkinson. But in the 1990s his career was interrupted by a bout of deep depression which lasted for several years. In 2002, he returned to television, making the pilot of 'QI' (standing for 'quite interesting'), the popular comedy panel game which is now in its 15th series on the BBC.
But QI is more than a television programme; it is a different way of engaging with knowledge which has its own philosophy and manifesto. As an independent research company, it produces radio shows, podcasts, live theatre, DVDs and books (the latest of which, '1,423 QI Facts to Bowl You Over', appeared this October). Now it is poised to enter the realm of education: at the 2017 Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference in Belfast, John revealed that a new QI approach to learning, based upon inspiring pupils with quite interesting facts, will be piloted at a number of UK schools in the coming year. This quote comes from when he spoke at his offices in London's Covent Garden, where he and his tiny army of 'elves' beaver away at uncovering the extraordinary bits of information which power the QI enterprise. For example, in 2011, Australia minted a giant 'A$1 million' gold coin. It weighed over a ton and used gold worth A$52 million. Queen Victoria had an irrational fear of bishops. Lenin owned nine Rolls-Royces. Borneo has the world's largest number of species of mango but not the largest number of mango trees. Bananas are used to make kimonos. [Refer https://besharamagazine.org/arts-literature/a-quite-interesting-approach-to-education/ also refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrITnpQZIT8 for a little more about the QI philosophy.]

"4 Simple Ways to Explain the Difference Between Science and Engineering:- ...
These four questions can help you frame your explanation of the differences between engineering and science.
---- 1- What's the simple definition? ----
Science is the body of knowledge that explores the physical and natural world. Engineering is the application of knowledge in order to design, build and maintain a product or a process that solves a problem and fulfills a need (i.e. a technology).
---- 2- What's the procedure? ----
Scientists use the scientific method. Engineers use the engineering design process. The scientist starts with asking a question. Then they do background research, formulate a hypothesis, test that hypothesis by conducting an experiment, analyze the data and communicate their results. Engineers start by defining the problem, then they identify the criteria and constraints, brainstorm ideas, plan, create a technology and improve upon their design.
---- 3- What's the goal? ----
Scientists and engineers have different goals. Scientists seek to describe and understand the natural world. Engineers consider various criteria and constraints in order to design solutions to problems, needs and wants that better the lives of humans, animals and-or the environment.
---- 4- What's the result and impact? ----
Scientists use their varied approaches - controlled experiments or longitudinal observational studies - to generate knowledge. The final result might be a research paper or a book, and the knowledge therein can be used to help us understand and make predictions about the natural world. Engineers use scientific knowledge to create a technology. What does this mean in a real-world context? ...[e.g.] a virologist is a scientist who researches how viruses are spread and how they affect the human body. A biomedical engineer can use the virologist's research to create an anti-viral drug that blocks a certain virus from spreading to new cells in the body.
In this way, both engineers and scientists are extremely important, and both fields benefit from the ingenuity and hard work of its counterpart. In some cases, scientists rely on the innovations that engineers design to further their research (e.g. microscopes or monitors), for example. ..." - Amielle Major

"One way to improve your memory - especially when learning a subject at school for example is to: gather the information you wish to learn into a logical order and then apply the AIR principle - 'breathe AIR into your learning':- A stands for Associate -- find ways to associate the information together and to things you already know through logic, acronyms and also crazy, vivid imagination; I stands for Impression -- get very clear mental image impressions of these associations; R stands for Repeat -- repeat the Associate and Impression steps as many times as necessary over the subsequent weeks to fix all this into your long-term memory so you can recall and review it at will through the 'magic' of neural plasticity and stimulation - 'neurons that fire together, wire together'." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.68926] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The principle of science, the definition, almost, is the following: The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific 'truth.' But what is the source of knowledge? Where do the laws that are to be tested come from? Experiment, itself, helps to produce these laws, in the sense that it gives us hints. But also needed is imagination to create from these hints the great generalizations--to guess at the wonderful, simple, but very strange patterns beneath them all, and then to experiment to check again whether we have made the right guess." - Richard P. Feynman

"When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt. We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty - some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain." - Richard P. Feynman

[Quote No.68961] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[History is valuable as it helps us understand the present:] We [Humans] are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. [Remember the universe is just under 13.8 billion years old and the Earth is just over 4.5 billion years old! The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The first human ancestors appeared between five million and seven million years ago, probably when some apelike creatures in Africa began to walk habitually on two legs. They were flaking crude stone tools by 2.5 million years ago. Then some of them spread from Africa into Asia and Europe about two million years ago. Modern humans, Homo sapiens, originated in Africa within the past 200,000 - 300,000 years and evolved from their most likely recent common ancestor, Homo erectus, which means 'upright man' in Latin. Homo erectus is an extinct species of human that lived between 1.9 million and 135,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, began moving outside of Africa starting about 70,000-100,000 years ago. We developed a capacity for language about 50,000 years ago, which would have aided our cultural evolution, co-operation and hunting and gathering. Some scientists argue we domesticated the very first dogs some 13,000 years ago, which helped in our hunting and gathering. Agricultural communities developed approximately 10,000 years ago when humans began to domesticate plants and animals. By establishing domesticity, families and larger groups were able to build communities and transition from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle dependent on foraging and hunting for survival. The Sumerian archaic (pre-cuneiform) writing and Egyptian hieroglyphs are generally considered the earliest true writing systems, both emerging out of their ancestral proto-literate symbol systems from 3400–3100 BCE, with earliest coherent texts from about 2600 BCE. Lasting roughly 2.5 million years, the Stone Age ended around 5,000 years ago when humans in the Near East began working with metal and making tools and weapons from bronze. From about 1000 BCE, the ability to heat and forge another metal, iron, brought the Bronze Age to an end, and led to the beginning of the Iron Age. Many scholars place the end of the Iron Age in at around 550 BC, when the ancient Greek historian and geographer from the Greek city of Halicarnassus, part of the Persian Empire, Herodotus, 'The Father of History,' began writing 'The Histories,' – a detailed account of the Greco-Persian Wars - though the end date varies by region. In Scandinavia, it ended closer to 800 AD with the rise of the Vikings.]" - Carl Sagan

[Quote No.68968] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[In the search for objective truth, truth that can set you free and empower you, it is helpful to try to consider all the options and alternatives and all their pros and cons:] There is one feature I notice that is generally missing in cargo cult science. ... It's a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty — a kind of leaning over backwards. For example, if you're doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid — not only what you think is right about it; other causes that could possibly explain your results; and things you thought of that you've eliminated by some other experiment, and how they worked — to make sure the other fellow can tell they have been eliminated.
Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them. You must do the best you can — if you know anything at all wrong, or possibly wrong — to explain it. If you make a theory, for example, and advertise it, or put it out, then you must also put down all the facts that disagree with it, as well as those that agree with it. There is also a more subtle problem. When you have put a lot of ideas together to make an elaborate theory, you want to make sure, when explaining what it fits, that those things it fits are not just the things that gave you the idea for the theory; but that the finished theory makes something else come out right, in addition.
In summary, the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgement in one particular direction or another. [This is consistent with morality and ethics, in that you are helping to create the foundational freedom in wise social contracts for living and working together, namely peaceful, voluntary, honest, informed choice through freedom from any type of force or fraud, deliberate or accidental, explicit or implicit.]" - Richard P. Feynman

[Quote No.68969] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
...It is our responsibility to leave the people of the future a free hand. In the impetuous youth of humanity, we can make grave errors that can stunt our growth for a long time. This we will do if we say we have the answers now, so young and ignorant as we are. If we suppress all discussion, all criticism, proclaiming 'This is the answer, my friends; man is saved!' we will doom humanity for a long time to the chains of authority, confined to the limits of our present imagination. It has been done so many times before.
...It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a satisfactory philosophy of ignorance, the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations." - Richard P.

[Quote No.68970] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Of course if we make good things, it is not only to the credit of science; it is also to the credit of the moral choice which led us to good work. Scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or bad — but it does not carry instructions on how to use it. Such power has evident value — even though the power may be negated by what one does with it.
I learned a way of expressing this common human problem on a trip to Honolulu. In a Buddhist temple there, the man in charge explained a little bit about the Buddhist religion for tourists, and then ended his talk by telling them he had something to say to them that they would never forget — and I have never forgotten it. It was a proverb of the Buddhist religion:
To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven; the same key opens the gates of hell.
What then, is the value of the key to heaven? It is true that if we lack clear instructions that enable us to determine which is the gate to heaven and which the gate to hell, the key may be a dangerous object to use.
But the key obviously has value: how can we enter heaven without it?" - Richard P. Feynman
