― Ronald M. Razmi, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Guide for Users, Buyers, Builders, and Investors

“Even if we have bad feelings about our past and it causes a sense of alienation, it belongs to our history. Its benchmarks are stored in the granary of our mind and crucial evaluations for the future cannot be made without consulting the archive of our memory. ( “Not without the past”)”

“Even if you think you're doing well and have it all figured out, there is a voice you will always inevitably hear at some point which nags at you and says "but wait..."

Life will never be close enough to perfect, and listening to that voice means stepping outside of yourself and considering your own wrongdoings and flaws.”
― Ashly Lorenzana

“Communication is the most essential and also the most ignored solvent and, simultaneously, medicine of life. If you communicate well with the planet, you will have better mental health. If you communicate better with your body, you will have better physical health. If you communicate well with others, you will have more financial abundance. Even the simplest job can't be acquired without good communication. But when you are alone, that communication turns inwards, and can improve or decrease the value you offer your own life. If you don't know what you say to yourself, listen only to those who speak what you need to hear. Your own life depends on these choices. Your feelings tell you what you must know about yourself - they're not a goal but a tool for personal evaluation.”
― Dan Desmarques

“Even "Good” is not a degree you acquire naturally.“ he replied.”

“Indeed, quite sweeping disparagements of the claims of ‘‘conceptual authority’’ have
invaded the academic humanities in recent years, to generally deleterious effect (we
shall examine a case in point in 2,v). Within this strain of self-styled post-modernist
critique, most appeals to ‘‘conceptual content’’ are dismissed as rigorist shams, representing scarcely more than polite variants upon schoolyard bullying. Run-of-the-mill
appeals to ‘‘conceptual authority’’ tacitly masquerade prejudiced predilection in the
form of falsely constructed universals which, in turn, covertly shelter the most oppressive codes of Western society. But such sweeping doubts, if rigorously implemented,
would render daily life patently unworkable, for we steer our way through the humblest
affairs by making conceptual evaluations as we go. In what alternative vocabulary, for
example, might we appraise our teenager’s failings with respect to his calculus homeworks? Forced to chose between exaggerated mistrust and blind acceptance of every
passing claim of conceptual authority (even those issuing from transparent charlatans),
we should plainly select gullibility as the wiser course, for the naïve explorer who trusts
her somewhat inadequate map generally fares better than the doubter who accepts
nothing. We will have told the story of concepts wrongly if it doesn’t turn out to be one
where our usual forms of conceptual evaluation emerge as appropriate and well
founded most of the time.
Of a milder, but allied, nature are the presumptions of the school of Thomas Kuhn,
which contends that scientists under the unavoidable spell of different paradigms often
‘‘talk past one another’’ through their failure to share common conceptual resources, in
a manner that renders scientific argumentation more a matter of brute conversion than
discourse. We shall discuss these views later as well.
Although their various generating origins can prove quite complex, most popular
academic movements that promote radical conceptual debunking of these types
draw deeply upon inadequate philosophies of ‘‘concepts and attributes.’’ Such doctrines
often sin against the cardinal rule of philosophy: first, do no harm, for such self-appointed
critics of ‘‘ideological tyranny’’ rarely prove paragons of intellectual toleration
themselves.”
― Mark Wilson, Wandering Significance: An Essay on Conceptual Behaviour

“How can you tell if a Chinese poem is a good poem if you do not read the kind of Chinese in which it is written? Certain realms of experience charge an entrance fee. To evaluate certain experiences a person must have encountered that realm of experience in some fashion. He or she must have access to that realm.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis

“Marks are a currency with which we buy knowledge. Currency (marks) does not know whether you pick up what you ordered.”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“If a majestic tree has to fall, may it be so a family or two has a place to eat.

Precious are resources.”
― Monaristw

“Evaluation must be done in hindsight, after the work has been done, not for proposals for work to be done. That said, secondary factors must carry some weigh, because research results depend too much on historical contingency and luck. As articulated by Ralph Bown, vice president of research at Bell Labs from 1951 to 1955:
'A conviction on the part of employees that meritorious performance will be honestly appraised and adequately rewarded is a necessary ingredient of their loyalty. This appraisal, to be fair and convincing, must be based on the individual's performance and capabilities rather than wholly on the direct value of his results. A system which rewards only those lucky enough to strike an idea which pays off handsomely will not have the cooperative teamwork needed for vitality of the enterprise as a whole.”
― Venkatesh Narayanamurti, The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions: Rethinking the Nature and Nurture of Research

“Monitoring and evaluation are a sine qua non of any organized structure. Laconic monitoring and prudent evaluation are the key to success of any project or assignment.”
