More From Jean Piaget

Groups do not have experiences except insofar as all their members do. and there are no experiences... that all the members of a scientific community must share in the course of a [scientific] revolution. revolutions should be described not in terms of group experience but in terms of the varied experiences of individual group members. indeed, that variety itself turns out to play an essential role in the evolution of scientific knowledge.
Knowledge Science Play
Although humans have existed on this planet for perhaps 2 million years, the rapid climb to modern civilization within the last 200 years was possible due to the fact that the growth of scientific knowledge is exponential; that is, its rate of expansion is proportional to how much is already known. the more we know, the faster we can know more. for example, we have amassed more knowledge since world war ii than all the knowledge amassed in our 2-million-year evolution on this planet. in fact, the amount of knowledge that our scientists gain doubles approximately every 10 to 20 years.
War Years Civilization
We started off with physical evolution and got our form. then we somehow developed language, which meant cultural evolution could race so we could change our behavior really quickly instead of over hundreds and hundreds of years. and then comes moral evolution, which means we're not frightfully far along with people. and maybe we end up with a spiritual evolution, which is this connectedness with the rest of the life forms on the planet.
Spiritual Mean Years
The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and 'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. the evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily.

We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
Exercise Knowledge And Power Discovery
...a condemned man who, at the hour of death, says or thinks that if the alternative were offered him of existing somewhere, on a height of rock or some narrow elevation, where only his two feet could stand, and round about him the ocean, perpetual gloom, perpetual solitude, perpetual storm, to remain there standing on a yard of surface for a lifetime, a thousand years, eternity! - rather would he live thus than die at once? only live, live, live! - no matter how, only live!

When beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean’s skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.

It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean.
