Scrutiny Quotes - Page 5

• Although people who had achieved a great deal in science and technology talked
  of the inscrutability of creativity, I was not convinced and disbelieved them immediately and without argument. Why should everything but creativity be open
  to scrutiny? What kind of process can this be which unlike all others is not subject
  to control?…What can be more alluring than the discovery of the nature of
  talented thought and converting this thinking from occasional and fleeting flashes
  into a powerful and controllable fire of knowledge.

• Classic was Jimmy Savile’s use of the cloak of authority and kindness. Savile’s celebrity allowed him to acquire this authority. As we consider the regulation of the media and the legal right to privacy it is worth reflecting on how the Savile scandal happened. It happened because the aura of Sir Jimmy’s celebrity protected him from scrutiny by the press.

• Así, en un aspecto crucial, las audiencias de Kansas repiten la pauta establecida por el Juicio Scopes, que se ha repetido muchas veces desde entonces, a saber, los evolucionistas escaparon al escrutinio crítico al no tener que someterse al contrainterrogatorio. En este caso, lograron la hazaña boicoteando las audiencias. Por lo tanto, espero el día en que las audiencias no sean voluntarias, sino que impliquen citaciones que obliguen a los evolucionistas a declarar y a ser interrogados largamente sobre sus puntos de vista.

• Siempre sentí que mi trabajo no tenía mucho que ver con el arte; mis admiraciones por otro arte tenían muy poco espacio para manifestarse en mi obra porque esperaba que si me concentraba lo suficiente la intensidad del escrutinio por sí sola forzaría la vida en los cuadros. Ignoraba el hecho de que, después de todo, el arte deriva del arte. Ahora me doy cuenta de que es así.

• Phony psychics like Uri Geller have had particular success in bamboozling scientists with ordinary stage magic, because only scientists are arrogant enough to think that they always observe with rigorous and objective scrutiny, and therefore could never be so fooled while ordinary mortals know perfectly well that good performers can always find a way to trick people.

• [He] seems to want it both ways: the freedom to hold and express beliefs, and immunity from criticism for those beliefs. This is the kind of attitude that leads inexorably to totalitarianism. It is to be decried, particularly in a university environment where the search for truth necessitates that no belief be treated as sacred or above scrutiny.

• Una infracción en materia de inmigración no debería dar al gobierno licencia para hacer trizas el libro de normas. Al restringir la supervisión judicial y bloquear el escrutinio público, el gobierno ha ejercido un poder prácticamente incontrolado sobre las personas que ha detenido.

• It remains an astonishing, disturbing fact that in America - a nation where nearly every new drug is subjected to rigorous scrutiny as a potential carcinogen, and even the bare hint of a substance's link to cancer ignites a firestorm of public hysteria and media anxiety - one of the most potent and common carcinogens known to humans can be freely bought and sold at every corner store for a few dollars.

• Sheriff Knezovich's bill was poorly-written and not constitutional, according to many attorneys, including myself, that reviewed it. We want to go forward with something that's going to stand up to the scrutiny that all bills go under once they've been passed into law.

• Para que el dharma se convierta en un conocimiento de primera mano -para sentir su "ouch"- tienes que vivir íntimamente con él, someterlo a escrutinio y dejar que te someta a escrutinio. Al final, siempre te devuelven la pelota: Sé una lámpara para ti mismo", dice Buda. En otras palabras, al final debes encontrar el camino por ti mismo, poniendo a prueba tus ideas sobre la verdad. Tus preguntas iluminan el camino.

• Se requiere una ingeniería social ilustrada para afrontar situaciones que exigen una acción global ahora. La educación es una solución a largo plazo. También hay que llegar a los padres y al público en general De lo contrario, los niños y jóvenes matriculados en programas de orientación global pueden encontrarse en conflicto con los valores asumidos en el hogar. Y entonces la institución educativa a menudo se ve sometida a escrutinio y debe dar marcha atrás.

• Creo que es razonable que el gobierno, cuando tiene una orden de un tribunal, cuando está expuesto al escrutinio de un proceso legal que sería respaldado, no sólo a nivel nacional, sino internacionalmente como una protección de derechos fiable y sólida, pueda disfrutar de ciertos poderes. Esto no difiere de que la policía pueda obtener una orden para ir a registrar tu casa, para patear tu puerta porque creen que eres un traficante de armas o algo por el estilo. Tiene que haber un proceso, tiene que ser público y tiene que poder impugnarse ante los tribunales en todo momento.
