“When one burns one’s bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.”
― Dave Snowden, Cynefin - Weaving Sense-Making into the Fabric of Our World

“Newton’s mechanics, Maxwell’s equations, quantum mechanics, and so on, tell us how events happen, not how things are.”
― Carlo Rovelli, The Order of Time

“Experiment with life by exploring and trying new things.”
― Robin S. Baker

“By our very nature, we humans are linear thinkers. We evolved to estimate a distance from the predator or to the prey, and advanced mathematics is only a recent evolutionary addition. This is why it’s so difficult even for a modern man to grasp the power of exponentials. 40 steps in linear progression is just 40 steps away; 40 steps in exponential progression is a cool trillion (with a T) – it will take you 3 times from Earth to the Sun and back to Earth.”
