## Rough Notes
|
|
- [Reichenbach](https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2025/entries/reichenbach/)
|
|
> "The greatest empiricist of the 20th century!"
|
|
- [Boulding?](asdf) - Spaceship Earth, General Systems Theory
|
|
- Meta-laws, generalizations, that leap from one discipline to another.
|
|
- We group a body of knowledge together under an umbrella of a domain, and in that box, the roots of connection may grow, but we miss the cross-cutting relationships that may have been realized, had we not kept knowledge as a house plant, bundled in a box.
|
|
- Teaching the truth vs. teaching a model. Do we confuse the latter for the former, or is it misrepresented from the get-go?
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Questions
|
|
- Have we kneecapped ourselves through rigid classification, and artificial specialization?
|

## Quotes
|
|
> The power of reason must be sought \
|
|
> not in the rules that reason dictates to our imagination, \
|
|
> but in the ability to free ourselves \
|
|
> from any kind of rules to which we have been conditioned \
|
|
> through experience and tradition
|
