Quotations

"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."
Thucydides

"In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves beautifully equipped to live in a world that no longer exists. "
Eric Hoffer

"beware of the pretentiously huge idea that purports to explain what everybody else, supposedly, has been too dumb to grasp."

"If you spend a lot of time talking about the future you can forget that you do not really know the subject."

Colin Gray

“We have to diminish the idea that technology is going to change warfare…War is primarily a human endeavor.”
General James N. Mattis (USMC), Commander, U.S. Joint Forces Command; and NATO Supreme Allied Commander

“The kinetic end of our business is vital and necessary, but it’s the nonkinetic that will be decisive."
Adm. Eric Olson, Commander, US Special Operations Command

“[W]e insist, and have insisted for generations, that truth is to be approached, if not attained, through research guided by a systematic method. In the social sciences … there is such a method.”
Sherman Kent (1949) – Strategic Intelligence for American World Policy

"The truly difficult problems of the information age are not technological; rather, they concern ourselves – what it is to think, to reason, and to engage in conversation [using] …new analytic techniques, new conceptual tools with which to analyze and understand the workings of the human mind."

Keith Devlin (1997), Goodbye Descartes: The End of Logic and the Search for a New Cosmology of the Mind
