• I think I am, therefore I am... I think...
• If you are not confused, you are not thinking!
• How can I know what I think when I didn't hear what I said?

• When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead, it is difficult only for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.
• Human affairs were carried on after a most irrational fashion, but that the remedy was quite simple and easy, since all we had to do was to carry them on rationally.
• One must never speak more clearly than one thinks.
• Don’t believe everything you think.
• The real is the impasse of formalization. (Jacques Lacan)

• Quote:

  Data is not information.
  Information is not knowledge.
  Knowledge is not understanding.
  Understanding is not wisdom.
  Wisdom is not truth.
  Truth is not beauty.
  

  ...and continuing the original quote by Frank Zappa:

  Beauty is not love.
  Love is not music.
  Music is THE BEST.
  

• A quote about Bayesian Science:

  If you are going to engage in BS with a BS-er, your BS should/must be better than the BS of the BS-er you are BS-ing with!

• Hey Sisyphys, that is not the correct stone...
• Almost everything in this world is easier said than done, with the exception of assisting Sisyphys's cyst-susceptible sister, which is easier done than said.
• The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. (Alfred North Whitehead, in "Process and Reality", Free Press, 1979, p. 39)
