David   Epstein
“We learn who we are in practice, not in theory.”
David Epstein, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

Steven D. Levitt
“The conventional wisdom is often wrong.”
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Raymond Tallis
“[...] the less you know, the less you will be aware of your ignorance. The familiar metaphor is that the wider the circle of our knowledge, the greater its contact with the unknown, and the more oppressive our feeling of cognitive inadequacy. By contrast, a small mind finds a small world to match it, and the smaller the mind the more it feels it has the world sussed.”
Raymond Tallis

Whitney Johnson
“Be in beta. Do things badly. Abandon perfectionism. Following this advice can seem nearly impossible when pitted against our identity. But when we allow ourselves to go into the rapid iteration of trial and error, like a child learning to walk, the feel-good neurological response just may charm away the snake of a strangling ego.”
Whitney Johnson

Ward Farnsworth
“I myself don’t know the facts of these matters, but I’ve never met anyone, including the people here today, who could disagree with what I’m saying and still avoid making himself ridiculous.”
Ward Farnsworth, The Socratic Method: A Practitioner's Handbook
