I think there is a danger with young people of being dependent in the sense that they don't acquire any identity or self-image of themselves as thinkers.

A question is a polite way of demanding something.

Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple.

In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.

The purpose of art is to reflect new emerging values and to define the new heroes and heroines so that people can absorb them into their perceptions.

To develop thinking as a skill, it should be deliberate, focused, confident, and enjoyable.

Complexity means distracted effort. Simplicity means focused effort.
