Man, In The Collective Sense,

As Man Reaches Out Toward The Twenty-first Century, He Will Learn To Be Suspicious Of All Ideas That Are Not Formulated So That They Can Be Tested By Observation. He Will Realize That The History Of Human Thought Shows That The Ideas Of Which We Are Surest Are The Ones We Most Need To Test. He Will Realize That His Common Sense Only Mirrors His Training And Experience. What Seems Natural And Right To Him Is Usually A Reflection Of The Conditions Under Which He Spent His First Decade Of Life.

We Are All An Integral Part Of The Chain Of Life.

Living Through The 1929 Great Depression Helped Shape My Social Conscience. During This Time, I Realized The Earth Was Still The Same Place, Manufacturing Plants Were Still Intact, And Resources Were Still There, But People Didn’t Have Money To Buy The Products.

Most People Don't Put Things Together. Geologists Study The Surface Of The Earth And Geological Phenomena. Meteorogists Study The Weather. That Isn't Science. Science Is The Study Of All Things That Affect Human Beings. They Have To Be Together! A Meteorologist Has Difficulty Talking With A Sociologist, Because They Don't Understand Each Other. You Can't Teach Sciences In 'bits'; You Have To Bring It All Together. Science Is A Way Of Thinking - A Way At Arriving At Conclusions Without Your Own Opinion In It.
