"How important are integrity, merit, effort, and competence in life? When it comes to integrity, it cannot be bought or sold; you have to have integrity. How has integrity been applied? How is integrity applied? Does it matter? Has it ever mattered? How do you know? History has demonstrated and continues to show that, although opinions, superstitions, and misconceptions do, at times, shape societies, these incongruous beliefs have ultimately been revealed for what they are: shallow, at other times deceptive distortions,"
"History demonstrates that what lasts (and is eternal) is the commitment to the universal laws of physics (which cannot be changed) and the universal biological web of life. Research in these fields is about discovery. It is about this process that ultimately leads to developing, enhancing, and most certainly advancing skills and knowledge for oneself, and of course, this means society itself."
Integrity cannot be bought or sold; it must be embodied. Repetition and empirical evidence drive the ongoing quest for universal knowledge. Perfection in any discipline results from deliberate crafting through sustained effort and practice. History shows that opinions, superstitions, and misconceptions can shape societies temporarily but are often exposed as shallow or deceptive, sometimes becoming socially destructive and at other times socially uplifting. Enduring foundations rest on immutable physical laws and the interconnected biological web of life. Scientific research uncovers truths that develop and advance skills and knowledge for individuals and societies. Early stone toolmaking required consciousness and self-reflective insight, marking a pivotal stage in cognitive evolution.
