[AISWorld] "IS not capable of coming up with native theories"

[Kappelman, Leon]

I must admit that sometimes I do wonder how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.  Fortunately, it's usually only a few seconds before I turn to contemplating thoughts like these...
"In academia there is no difference between academia and the real world; in the real world, there is." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"Remember that all models are wrong; the practical question is how wrong do they have to be to not be useful." - George Box
"Your first impulse should always be to find the evidence that disconfirms your most cherished beliefs and those of others.  That is true science." - Robert Greene
"If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the
truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken." - Carl Sagan
"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see." - John Lennon
"I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned." - Richard P. Feynman
"Never underestimate the power of ideas. Philosophical concepts nurtured in the stillness of a professor's study could destroy a civilization" - Heinrich Heine
"A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." - Simon & Garfunkel
"A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep." - Saul Bellow
"He who stifles free discussion, secretly doubts whether what he professes to believe is really true." - Wendell Phillips
"We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves." ― Eric Hoffer
"Assuming people are irrational most of the time is a very clear way to see the world." -Scott Adams
"When a pickpocket sees a saint, all she sees are pockets." - Gilbert H. Kappelman
Then I take a walk or a nap (-;
Happy holidays & best wishes to you and yours in the days ahead,
Leon
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." - Charles Darwin
