A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
I cannot live without brain-work. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them? Crime is commonplace, existence is commonplace, and no qualities save those which are commonplace have any function upon earth.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1890-02), “The Sign of the Four,” ch. 1 [Holmes], Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, Vol. 45 (US) / 1 (UK)More about this quote: wist.info/doyle-arthur-conan/8…

We readily acknowledge in others an advantage in courage, in bodily strength, in experience, in agility, in beauty; but an advantage in judgment we yield to no one. And the arguments that come from simple natural reasoning in others, we think we would have found if we had merely glanced in that direction.
[Nous reconnoissons aysément és autres, l’advantage du courage, de la force corporelle, de l’experience, de la disposition, de la beauté: mais l’advantage du jugement; nous ne le cedons à personne: Et les raisons qui partent du simple discours naturel en autruy, il nous semble qu’il n’a tenu qu’à regarder de ce costé-là, que nous ne les ayons trouvees.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

I wrote somewhere once that the third-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the majority, the second-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the minority, and the first-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking. With equal truth it may be said that a first-rate mind is not one which does not remember the past, nor is it one which cannot forget the past; it is a mind which will use the past but not be ordered by it. It is a mind independent of everybody and everything but the facts in front of it. It is as little perturbed to find itself sharing a thought with the simple as it is elated to find itself sharing a thought with the subtle.

Dogs with a large vocabulary of object labels learn new labels by overhearing like 1.5-year-old infants | Science
Neuroscientists investigated whether dogs can learn new words not through direct instruction, but by "eavesdropping" on human conversations, much like young children do. The study focused on a small group of dogs "gifted" for word learning (Gifted Word Learner dogs)—animals with an unusually large vocabulary of object names. Such dogs are rare and are not associated with a specific breed or living conditions.
The results showed that these dogs are able to learn new object names by observing their owners' interactions, even when the conversation is not addressed directly. Moreover, the dogs successfully formed associations between a word and an object, even when they were not presented simultaneously. In terms of learning efficiency, some dogs were as effective as, and sometimes even superior to, human children around eighteen months old.https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5474

Monday #NoeticSpectrum : Yes , I know. Everything’s wrong with everything, seemingly. Most of it is not at all funny. This is precisely why we have #Comedy, #Music , #intellect and discourse on philosophy. All the war and violence is the stupidest thing ever. Our world and everything in it are built to help us transcend all this nonsense. Corruption and greed eventually run out of steam. But waiting for that to happen on its own is not an option with any habitable world remaining

The stars have not dealt me the worst they could do:
My pleasures are plenty, my troubles are two.
But oh, my two troubles they reave me of rest,
The brains in my head and the heart in my breast.A. E. Housman (1859-1936) English scholar and poet [Alfred Edward Housman]

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
The boldest thinker may have his moments of languor and discouragement, when he feels as if he could willingly exchange faiths with the old beldame crossing herself at the cathedral-door, — nay, that, if he could drop all coherent thought, and lie in the flowery meadow with the brown-eyed solemnly unthinking cattle, looking up to the sky, and all their simple consciousness staining itself blue, then down to the grass, and life turning to a mere greenness, blended with confused scents of herbs, — no individual mind-movement such as men are teased with, but the great calm cattle-sense of all time and all places that know the milky smell of herds, — if he could be like these, he would be content to be driven home by the cow-boy, and share the grassy banquet of the king of ancient Babylon. Let us be very generous, then, in our judgment of those who leave the front ranks of thought for the company of the meek non-combatants who follow with the baggage and provisions. Age, illness, too much wear and tear, a half-formed paralysis, may bring any of us to this pass.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar

Thought is the work of the intellect, reverie is its self-indulgence. To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse a poison with a source of nourishment.
[La pensée est le labeur de l’intelligence, la rêverie en est la volupté. Remplacer la pensée par la rêverie, c’est confondre un poison avec une nourriture.]Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
