			* A potential sharing subsection regarding parenting and insights on child cognition.


			Quotations:

			...the man whose business is writing experiences a kind of flash --for this intellectual life, anything but passive, is really made of fragments; it is in a way composed of elements very brief, yet felt to be very rich in possibilities, which do not illuminate the whole mind, which indicate to the mind, rather, that there are forms completely new which it is sure to be able to possess after a certain amount of work. Sometimes I have observed this moment when a sensation arrives at the mind; it is as a gleam of light, not so much illuminating as dazzling. This arrival calls attention, points, rather than illuminates, and in the end, is itself an enigma which carries with it the assurance that it can be postponed. You say, 'I see, and then tomorrow I shall see more.' There is an activity, a special sensitization; soon you will go into the dark-room and the picture will be seen to emerge. --Paul Valery

			I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.
			- Tolstoy

			A person first gets a new idea and he wonders very much whether this idea will be right or wrong. He is very anxious about it, and any feature in the new idea which differs from the old established ideas is a source of anxiety to him. Whereas someone else who hears about this work and takes it up doesn’t have the same anxiety, an anxiety to preserve the correctness of the basic idea at all costs, and without having this anxiety he is not so disturbed by the contradiction and is able to face up to it and see what it really means. I expect that was just Heisenberg’s problem. He was afraid that this lack of commutation might cause the whole theory to collapse; he was probably terribly worried about that. That rather stops him from really facing up to it.
			-- Dirac

			A mathematician who is not also a poet will never be a complete mathematician. - Karl Weierstrass -->

			I like these. Putting these here for now, so I can figure out what I can do with them later.

			If you believe someone is engaging in bad faith you have three responsibilities:
			* 1. Maintain a charitable attitude. (Ask questions in earnest about why they believe what they believe)
			* 2. Continue to engage in good faith. (Don’t stoop to their level)
			* 3. Attempt to steer the conversation in a productive direction. (eg. Steelman: ask for clarification and see if you can restate their argument in a way they would accept)
			* If you fail in those responsibilities, you should:
			* 4. Accept that you could not steer the conversation in a productive direction, leave the conversation for at least 1 hour.
