“Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgement, the manner in which information is coordinated and used.”

“The information age has off-loaded a great deal of work previously done by people we could call information specialists onto all of the rest of us.”

“Intelligence is not the ability to store information, but to know where to find it.”

“Being a language, mathematics may be used not only to inform but also, among other things, to seduce.”

“We have several races of beings that speak on this one planet. We have many and varying types of intelligence on this one planet. Therefore, tendencies that encourage intelligence, language, and a continuing search for information may very well be in accordance with the purpose of the universe.
And contrariwise, all systems that discourage intelligence, language, and a continuing search for information are anti-existence, death-dealing, and evil.”

“We all would like to know more and, at the same time, to receive less information. In fact, the problem of a worker in today's knowledge industry is not the scarcity of information but its excess. The same holds for professionals: just think of a physician or an executive, constantly bombarded by information that is at best irrelevant. In order to learn anything we need time. And to make time we must use information filters allowing us to ignore most of the information aimed at us. We must ignore much to learn a little.”

“Intuition is unconscious accumulated experience informing judgement in real time.”

“You have seen these things. You know a great deal. And you are not coordinated with the new configuration.”

“We have now swapped information for knowledge, which is not the same thing. I do not want to know.”

“There are many situations in life, and particularly in the commercial world, where a man cannot by any diligence inform himself of the degree of credit which ought to be given to the persons with whom he deals; in which cases he must apply to those whose sources of intelligence enable them to give that information. The law of prudence leads him to apply to them, and the law of morality ought to induce them to give the information required.”
