IDEA: #AToZChallange

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples, 

then you and I will still each have one apple. 


But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, 

then each of us will have two ideas.”
― George Bernard Shaw

This copiously illustrated book begins more than 30 millennia ago 
and portrays human history as the product of a series of intellectual and conceptual discoveries. 
The author shows how our ancestors pulled themselves out of prehistory 
by realizing that symbols could be used to express ideas; 
by grasping that what we see is not necessarily what is
by, in short, having the big idea that the world operates according to rules that can be understood.

"Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. 

We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. 

We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."
  [Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]”

― John F. Kennedy
