Desire to create.
"We must not forget that greatest creations - whether in art or in science - occurred spontaneously, without specific needs, pressures, deadlines. They emerged as a result of great desire to create and of great dedication to the idea."Assoc. prof. dr. Borut Likar, MBA, Faculty of Management Koper, director of the Institute for Innovation and Technology

Only tools and mechanisms.
Technology is only a tool. Market is only a mechanism that separates effective from ineffective.How we use technology (for nuclear weapons or nuclear power stations) and how much wilderness we leave on market - this depends on us only.

What cripples kids?
Taras Kermauner gives precise description of briliant father character in Bogdan Novak's novel Niki: "Reader is disgusted while following his deformed behaviour, moralistic violence of archaic authoritarianism, which cripples children, instead of rising them through love and solidarity into free people."Slovene original: "Sijajen je lik očeta - gradbenika; bralcu se upira, ko sledi njegovemu deformiranemu značaju, moralističnemu nasilju arhaične avtoritarnosti, ki otroke pohablja, namesto, da bi jih vzgajal v ljubezni in solidarnosti v svobodne ljudi."

Top-notch or only good?
"Kaplan has taught me that wise man has plenty of ideas and the only thing that differentiates top-notch of only good is the way how idea is carried out, how it becomes reality."A Life Decoded by J. Craig Venter

Human imperfection neglects serious/precise approach?
"So don't brood over everything in that super-serious way of yours. All of us (by which I mean all of us, both normal and not-so-normal) are imperfect human beings living in an imperfect world. We don't live with the mechanical precision of a bank account or by measuring all our lines and angles with rulers and protractors. Am I right?"

Art strikes again.
Interesting step forward has been made concerning my older post Reason art if you can.Slovenian IEDC-Bled School of Management has opened center for innovative learning. What is innovative there?
"Different learning methods, especially with art techniques, helping people become more reflective, responsible and creative because art inspires. (...) In last years school is seeking for parallels between science, art and philosophy, which should lead students to become more responsible leaders."
Too good to be true?

Fear.
Interesting technophobia thought that came upon between the forum chat with my E-tourism students: It is OK if we are afraid of things we do not know. But fear can not be the reason for not trying to explain these things and learn to use them right.Can be applied to xenophobia in multicultural environments also...

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Nice passion, beauty and death philosophy from Steve Jobs to Stanford graduates. Goes with a thought I have just remembered, but I don't know where I have read it: "The goal of our lives is to live as long as possible and die as young as possible."

Reason art if you can.
Unaticipated* chicken-ginger-paprika insight was ignited today:If we assume our mind is partly conscious and partly unconscious, then there are also two ways of human society education. Classical education speaks mostly to our conscious part. And unconscious? OK, there are some attempts of unconscious education. But there is another universe of possibilities out there...
Art talks to us mostly in unconscious/non-rational way. So - let's use it for this reason more. To teach and to learn without reason.
* the point here is in Slovene translation of the word "nenadejan" ;)
