• To demonize state authoritarianism while ignoring identical albeit contract-consecrated subservient arrangements in the large-scale corporations which control the world economy is fetishism at its worst.

• I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well.

• The fact is, I see no compelling reason why we should not unilaterally get rid of our nuclear weapons. To maintain them is costly and adds nothing to our security. I can think of no circumstances under which it would be wise for the United States to use nuclear weapons, even in retaliation for their prior use against us. What, for example, would our targets be? It is impossible to conceive of a target that could be hit without large-scale destruction of many innocent people?

• La contingencia es rica y fascinante; encarna una exquisita tensión entre el poder de los individuos para modificar la historia y los límites inteligibles establecidos por las leyes de la naturaleza. Los detalles de la vida de los individuos y las especies no son meros adornos, sin poder para moldear el curso a gran escala de los acontecimientos, sino particularidades que pueden alterar futuros enteros, profundamente y para siempre.

• On the most usual assumption, the universe is homogeneous on the large scale, i.e. down to regions containing each an appreciable number of nebulae. The homogeneity assumption may then be put in the form: An observer situated in a nebula and moving with the nebula will observe the same properties of the universe as any other similarly situated observer at any time.

• Históricamente, el comercio mundial a gran escala ha desempeñado dos funciones: 1) el intercambio de bienes entre vendedores y compradores voluntarios descrito en los libros de texto de Economía 101; 2) como instrumento de engrandecimiento del Estado, en el que las partes privadas son sustitutos de los intereses gubernamentales.

• Es un error popular creer que la burocracia es menos flexible que la empresa privada. Puede que sea así en los detalles, pero cuando hay que hacer adaptaciones a gran escala, el control central es mucho más flexible. Un departamento gubernamental puede tardar dos meses en responder a una carta, pero una industria privada tarda veinte años en reajustarse a una caída de la demanda.

• La aparición de un momento cognitivo unificado depende de la coordinación de mosaicos dispersos de regiones cerebrales funcionalmente especializadas. Aquí revisamos los mecanismos de integración a gran escala que contrarrestan la organización anatómica y funcional distribuida de la actividad cerebral para permitir la aparición de un comportamiento y una cognición coherentes. Aunque los mecanismos implicados en la integración a gran escala siguen siendo en gran medida desconocidos, sostenemos que el candidato más plausible es la formación de vínculos dinámicos mediados por la sincronía en múltiples bandas de frecuencia.

• No matter your title, people will not follow you if they don’t trust you. Whether you are just taking over a team or working to implement large-scale change within one, you are guaranteed to run into resistance if you haven’t taken time to establish a foundation with the people you oversee before turning their worlds upside down.

• La democracia representativa manifiesta con frecuencia una desconexión entre los parlamentarios y el pueblo, de modo que los parlamentarios tienen agendas que no se corresponden con los deseos del electorado. Esto ha conducido en muchos países a la apatía, el cinismo y el absentismo a gran escala en las elecciones. Lo que se necesita no son sólo parlamentos, sino parlamentarios que representen realmente los deseos del electorado.

• The very large units of production and exchange have access to credit on a large scale, sometimes without any cover at all, merely upon the prospect of their success, and always upon terms far easier than are open to their smaller rivals. It is perhaps on this line of easier credit that large capital today does most harm to small capital, drives it out and ruins it.

• There does seem to be a sense in which physics has gone beyond what human intuition can understand. We shouldn't be too surprised about that because we're evolved to understand things that move at a medium pace at a medium scale. We can't cope with the very tiny scale of quantum physics or the very large scale of relativity.
