backward broke computer engineered guys invented nobody sat stuff successful watched
All this stuff is backward engineered from what works. Nobody sat at a computer and invented these techniques. They watched guys who are successful and broke it down to what works.
chicago economy effect market ready
The Chicago PMI helped, but the economy is doing better and we know the fourth-quarter will have some of the effect of the hurricane, but the market is ready to withstand that.
appeals fuss hybrid judicial next notion numbers using
This hybrid notion of using the 2002 numbers -- we're going to use appeals and were going to fuss around in between the next reassessment, which we don't know when its going to be -- I just think is not going to withstand judicial scrutiny.
core good investors job market pickup pressure reasonably relieved
The market probably did a reasonably good job anticipating this pickup in inflation. Investors are relieved there wasn't more pressure on core inflation. Unfortunately, we're probably going to see that pressure in the upcoming months.
bounce concern demand good inflation market preparing
The market is preparing for a pretty good bounce in employment. What that means, though, is some more concern about inflation as demand increases.
hard might people respect work wrong
You can work really hard and well on something, and someone you respect might hate it; worse, they're not empirically wrong for doing so. This is scary, especially for people who haven't been published.
eager engage few giant main people sound trust whose
The main thing is to think strategically about what will engage your readers. Trust me when I tell you that few people are eager to read a story whose opening lines sound like a dissertation on giant bugs.
credit flat game good great hand job key wickets
The key was to get a good start, keep wickets in hand and we were able to do that. A lot of credit should go to the seam bowlers. They set the game up for us. It was a very flat wicket and they did a great job first up.
simple men issues
The belief that value judgments are not subject, in the last analysis, to rational control, encourages the inclination to make irresponsible assertions regarding right and wrong or good and bad. One evades discussion of serious issues by the simple device of passing them off as value problems, whereas, to say the least, many of these conflicts arose out of man's very agreement regarding values.
ideas political clarification
The clarification of our political ideas insensibly changes into and becomes indistinguishable from the history of political ideas.
discovery effort special
When speaking of a "body of knowledge" or of "the results of research," e.g., we tacitly assign the same cognitive status to inherited knowledge and to independently acquired knowledge. To counteract this tendency a special effort is required to transform inherited knowledge into genuine knowledge by revitalizing its original discovery, and to discriminate between the genuine and the spurious elements of what claims to be inherited knowledge.
eye men use
Men must always have distinguished (e.g. in judicial matters) between hearsay and seeing with one's own eyes and have preferred what one has seen to what he has merely heard from others. But the use of this distinction was originally limited to particular or subordinate matters. As regards the most weighty matters the first things and the right way the only source of knowledge was hearsay.
philosophy character movement
The emancipation of the scholars and scientists from philosophy is according to [Nietzsche] only a part of the democratic movement, i.e. of the emancipation of the low from subordination to the high. ... The plebeian character of the contemporary scholar or scientist is due to the fact that he has no reverence for himself.
philosophy humble men
Men are constantly attracted and deluded by two opposite charms: the charm of competence which is engendered by mathematics and everything akin to mathematics, and the charm of humble awe, which is engendered by meditation on the human soul and its experiences. Philosophy is characterized by the gentle, if firm, refusal to succumb to either charm.
