Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves.

Human beings know a lot of things, some of which are true, and apply them. When we like the results, we call it wisdom.

The simplest scheme of evolution is one that depends on two processes; a generator and a test. The task of the generator is to produce variety, new forms that have not existed previously, whereas the task of the test is to cull out the newly generated forms so that only those that are well fitted to the environment will survive.

All behavior involves conscious or unconscious selection of particular actions out of all those which are physically possible to the actor and to those persons over whom he exercises influence and authority.

No one has characterized market mechanisms better than Friedrich von Hayek

One finds limits by pushing them.

Maybe we ought to have a world in which things are divided between people kind of fairly.
