From the Stray Thought Bin—You've Got To Pay Attention

To master GS as a discipline, many of you don't seem to understand that you've got to pay attention to your breath, among other things. 

The Task Ahead

"The task ahead is gigantic if we are to avoid more personal, national, and even international tragedies based on unpredictability, insecurity, fears, anxieties, etc., which are steadily disorganizing the functioning of the human nervous system. Only when we face these facts fearlessly and intelligently may we save for future civilizations whatever there is left to save, and build from the ruins of a dying epoch a new and saner society. ...A non-aristotelian re-orientation is inevitable ; the only problem today is when, and at what cost."
—Alfred Korzybski, Introduction to the Second Edition 1941, Science and Sanity

Dabrowski on Self-Education

"Self-education is the highest possible process of a psychological and moral character. It begins at the time when the individual undergoes changes which permit him to make himself partially independent of biological factors and of the influence of the social environment. At this stage a process, thus far not explained by psychology, takes place, as a consequence of which the individual becomes the resultant not only of inheritance, of factors acting in the womb of a mother, and of his biological and social environment, but also of one more, ever more powerful factor, namely that of defining oneself and of acting upon oneself (the so-called third factor)."

On Diagnostic Labeling

"Physicians think they are doing something for you by labeling what you have as a disease."
—Immanuel Kant
