"The desert fathers are consistently saying 'You deal with it first and foremost by standing with the sinner. Whatever is the matter, you are to be there alongside them, first, last and always.'" - Tim Mansfield
"Generally, rich descriptive models and explanations of how development unfolds are produced and consumed (especially in the Integral Community) with very little attention to the metrics and methods that make them possible. We love the knowledge, accept it as true, but could care less about how it was made. That's the myth of the given in a nutshell. If we were to jettison the myth and adopt a properly post-metaphysical approach to developmental theory and practice things would be different." - Tim Mansfield
You don't have to help it, you don't have it applaud it, you don't have to fight for it. Just don't put it out. Just don't extinguish it. Because while it may at first look like that love is between two people you don't know and you don't understand and maybe you don't even want to know. It is, in fact, the ember of your love, for your fellow person just because this is the only world we have. - Tim Mansfield
The material uses the light more effectively, generating hundreds of times more current than conventional silicon. The company, which has licensed technology developed at Harvard University, also claims that the material makes it possible to use less silicon for light sensors, making the devices cheaper, smaller, and lighter. - Tim Mansfield
Gary Small, a neuroscientist at UCLA in California who specializes in brain function, has found through studies that Internet searching and text messaging has made brains more adept at filtering information and making snap decisions. - Tim Mansfield
For the last several years, the Army has kept a close eye on research into areas of science that might have once been called “paranormal;” its practitioners drummed out of the academy as kooks and nut-jobs. But now the idea of implanting specific memories or erasing damaging ones, for example, isn’t mere fantasy. - Tim Mansfield
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered and demonstrated a new method for overcoming two major hurdles facing solar energy. By developing a new antireflective coating that boosts the amount of sunlight captured by solar panels and allows those panels to absorb the entire solar spectrum from nearly any angle, the research team has moved academia and industry closer to realizing high-efficiency, cost-effective solar power. - Tim Mansfield
