| “More often than not, new information is attacked for no other reason than it is different. It upsets lazy minds; especially if they have a vested interest in old ways. Learning something that is different seems a forbidding effort to many. What really stuns the intellect, however, is that the field that purportedly most aggressively seeks new information, most violently resists new information.” Anon |
