"Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before.

Charity separates the rich from the poor aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich." »Eva Pern

"Much of the Social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.

The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the Social engineers nor discredited them." »Thomas Sowell

"When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous--a man who brutalizes people. But *you* love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create Social change--and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the Social situation, to take power from those who misuse it--at which point they can become human too." »Bayard Rustin

"There are two main reasons that caused mainstream economists and financial media to miss the financial crisis of 2008. The first is the NIH (Not Invented Here) bias, which is an organizational phenomenon manifested as an unwillingness to adopt an idea because it originates from unknown outsiders. It is a form of Social cognition bias that leads to errors in group judgments such as missing on new opportunities or risks. The second reason is a cognition bias known as the Confirmation Bias which is the tendency to search for, filter in, or interpret information in a way that confirms existing preconceptions. The Confirmation Bias is recognized as an individual cognition bias, but when met with (NIH) bias it appears to develop into a Social bias very similar to the Groupthink syndrome." »Med Jones
