My Belief In Why America Has Been

I Align Myself With Almost All Researchers In Assuming That Anything We Do Is A Composite Of Whatever Genetic Limitations Were Given To Us By Our Parents And Whatever Kinds Of Environmental Opportunities Are Available.

No Academic Ever Expects To Be Taken Seriously By More Than Three Other People, Because Really, We Write For Three People In Our Field.

We Can Enhance Our Intelligences, But I Am Never Going To Become Yo-yo Ma, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Or Pele.

One Must Exploit The Asynchronies That Have Befallen One, Link Them To A Promising Issue Or Domain, Reframe Frustrations As Opportunities, And, Above All, Persevere.

We Need To Focus On The Kind Of Human Beings We Want To Have And The Kind Of Society In Which We Want To Live.
