Let's have Albert Einstein say a word or two o - The search for truth is more precious than its possession o - Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. o - Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire it. o - Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler o - Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning. o - The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. o - I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious. o - There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle The other is as though everything is a miracle. o - We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books . It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranges and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. ---- PB - Feyerabend !Good ref! - suggest reading Imre Lakatos and his letters with Feyerabend (and a number of others) --------------- switch to rant mode ------------ Looks like this thread is not just creme de la creme of investing expertise, but also the crown of creation in its broad-based, well-funded, exhaustive (exhausting?) knowledge of ontology, eschatology, metaphysics (home-economics variety as well as applied and theoretical) - what else, er... oh yes - historical & sociological aspects of all major and minor (down to Rev Jones & Talibans) religions etc etc. No wonder, we're in a bear market. ----- end of rant ...and peace for everybody. Anybody a piece of humble pie? I'm just ... intensely curious;P RegZ dj
