We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.

The key to transforming mental models is to interrupt the automatic responses that are driven by the old model and respond differently based on the new model. Each time you are able to do this, you are actually loosening the old circuit and creating new neural connections in your brain, often referred to as self-directed neuroplasticity.

Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.

In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.

All different forms of human expression, art, science, are going to become expanded, by expanding our intelligence.

It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact, intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and, not least, a changing a structure of the theoretical system.

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
