[Quote No.62243] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Skepticism is important in the search for truth:] One of the biggest problems with the world today is that we have large groups of people who will accept whatever they hear on the grapevine, just because it suits their worldview - not because it is actually true or because they have evidence to support it. The striking thing is that it would not take much effort to establish validity in most of these cases... but people prefer reassurance to research." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

[Quote No.62245] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The desire to be right and the desire to have been right are two desires, and the sooner we separate them the better off we are. The desire to be right is the thirst for truth. On all counts, both practical and theoretical, there is nothing but good to be said for it. The desire to have been right, on the other hand, is the pride that goeth before a fall. It stands in the way of our seeing we were wrong, and thus blocks the progress of our knowledge." - Willard V. Quine and J.S. Ullian
In their book, 'The Web of Belief'.

"Neurons that fire together wire together. Mental states become neural traits. Day after day, your mind is building your brain. This is what scientists call experience-dependent neuroplasticity." - Rick Hanson

[Quote No.62273] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Neural plasticity:] As you read this, in the five cups of tofu-like tissue inside your head, nested amid a trillion support cells, 80 to 100 billion neurons are signaling one another in a network with about half a quadrillion connections, called synapses. All this incredibly fast, complex, and dynamic neural activity is continually changing your brain. Active synapses become more sensitive, new synapses start growing within minutes, busy regions get more blood since they need more oxygen and glucose to do their work, and genes inside neurons turn on or off. Meanwhile, less active connections wither away in a process sometimes called neural Darwinism: the survival of the busiest." - Rick Hanson

"They who have read about everything are thought to understand everything, too, but it is not always so; reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections -- we must chew them over again." - William Ellery Channing

"We do not receive wisdom, [easily, because most of us have difficulty in recognising it as wisdom due to a lack of relevant, personal experience. Therefore, if we are ever to get wisdom] we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us." - Marcel Proust

[Quote No.62603] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Truth - subjective and objective:]
There are two kinds of truth:
the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart.
The first of these is science, and the second is art.
Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art, science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science, art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous." - Raymond Chandler
