Quotes by Jim Baggott (?)

“Just remember that money cannot buy you happiness (although it might make misery more tolerable).”
― Jim Baggott, A Beginner's Guide to Reality: Exploring Our Everyday Adventures in Wonderland

“we have to remember that what we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning.”

“Cred că mesajul poveştii ştiinţifice a creaţiei este că ne aflăm aici graţie unor împrejurări istorice extraordinare şi a unui imens noroc. Puteţi face speculaţii pe seama golurilor din cunoaştere, dacă ţineţi neapărat, dar e mai probabil să nu existe nici un scop în structura şi natura lumii fizice: suntem produsul ei secundar accidental, nu raţiunea ei de a fi.
Scopul şi semnificaţia sunt invenţii umane, şi trebuie să le căutăm înăuntru, nu înafară, folosind creierul nostru social. Nu suntem privilegiaţi în sensul că totul a fost creat de dragul nostru, dar faptul că ne aflăm aici acum e un privilegiu extraordinar. Sarcina noastră este, şi a fost dintotdeauna, să ne dăm seama ce avem de făcut cu noi înşine.”
― Jim Baggott, Origins: The Scientific Story of Creation
