Medicine has suffered the full effects of the scientific outpouring of information. ... As a stopgap measure, medical schools have kept the total number of years constant, but have lengthened the per-week teaching load. Thus medical students at Harvard attend twice as many hours of classes per week as law or business students. Of necessity, this makes medical education a very passive business and deprives the student of the single most important thing he desperately needs to learn while at school -- how to initiate the educational process for himself, later on, when he is a practitioner.

Just watched last year's #Eden #movie.
It was a fascinating story of relationship dynamics of several "families" on an isolated island. Based on the accounts of real events, to boot. It was expected that there would be some fight for resources, but I was surprised by masterful directing which made the story compelling despite the lack of the real "good guys" to root for.

Certainty is the currency of fundamentalism; but being unwilling to question what you believe isn't a strength, it's a weakness.

Hammerhead Silhouette, Galápagos
In the Galápagos Islands, hammerhead sharks are often encountered by divers in significant numbers due to the nutrient-rich waters. A single scalloped hammerhead was observed moving effortlessly through a school of fish, illustrating the species' critical conservation status while also highlighting the strength of ocean currents in this unique ecosystem.https://scubahanknyc.com/2026/08/09/hammerhead-silhouette-galapagos/

Capitalism and democracy do not necessarily go hand in hand. ... Perhaps the greatest threat to freedom and democracy in the world today comes from the formation of unholy alliances between government and business.

I think that it's an honorable thing to change your mind occasionally. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or lack of integrity. I believe men are united by their doubts and separated by their convictions. Therefore, it's a very good thing to have doubts. Doubts are the greatest spur to activity that I know of.
