Points from the Videos about Doing What We Know

Seeds of Knowledge
  • Many of our individual, and societal, problems arise not from lack of knowledge but from the fact that we don't apply the knowledge we possess.
  • The range of what we know keeps growing and growing. Do our behaviors and attitudes incorporate this new knowledge? Are we effective in teaching new knowledge to our children and others?
  • Having a scientific attitude does not preclude one from appreciating art, beauty, aesthetics, etc. Having such an orientation may lead to unusual questions that may provoke a deeper understanding and appreciation.
  • Are we flexible enough to adapt to whatever is needed to solve the immediate, specific problem, even when what is needed may be silence? Is it possible for our "words to get in our eyes"?
  • What does it mean to "follow your bliss"?

It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and only lukewarm defenders among those who may do well under the new.—Machiavelli
To know and not to act is not to know.—Lao Tse
