More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

A new study finds that women use their whole brain when listening and men only use half of their brain. you see, men use the other half of their brain to come up with excuses. i don't think women use their whole brain when listening. i think they use half of it and the other half is used to memorize what men are saying so they can use it against them 10 years later!

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. never use a long word where a short one will do. if it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. never use the passive voice where you can use the active. never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday english equivalent. break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
Cutting Thinking Passive Voice
Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. it is more exciting to stand still than to dance. silence is more eloquent than speech. water is more stimulating than wine. fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. sunlight is more subtle than electric light. the scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. the slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.
Life Wise Country
Coming back to america was, for me, much more of a culture shock than going to india. the people in the indian countryside don't use their intellect like we do, they use their intuition instead, and their intuition is far more developed than in the rest of the world. intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect in my opinion. that's had a big impact on my work.

A man has a right to use a saw, an axe, a plane, separately; may he not combine their uses on the same piece of wood? he has a right to use his knife to cut his meat, a fork to hold it; may a patentee take from him the right to combine their use on the same subject? such a law, instead of enlarging our conveniences, as was intended, would most fearfully abridge them, and crowd us by monopolies out of the use of the things we have.

So let's not use a stylus. we're going to use the best pointing device in the world. we're going to use a pointing device that we're all born with - born with ten of them. we're going to use our fingers. we're going to touch this with our fingers. and we have invented a new technology called multi-touch, which is phenomenal. it works like magic.

If we want america to stay on the cutting edge, we need young americans to master the tools and technology that will change the way we do just about everything.

I have a grandson who is 20. he's a computer guy. i'm worried that he can't communicate without his machine. they have no personal contact with people. that's the bad part of technology.

Rebellion against technology and civilization is real rebellion, a real attack on the values of the existing system. but the green anarchists, anarcho-primitivists, and so forth (the "ga movement") have fallen under such heavy influence from the left that their rebellion against civilization has to great extent been neutralized. instead of rebelling against the values of civilization, they have adopted many civilized values themselves and have constructed an imaginary picture of primitive societies that embodies these civilized values.
