Best 34 quotes of Thomas Vato on MyQuotes

A single opinion is comfortable. Comfort is hostile to change. Progress is uncomfortable because it changes the comfort.

Common sense defends from mistakes and failures in your practical judgement. Questions delegate the mind to think, so your mind will follow questions or common sense. Questions initiate, common sense guards. Two flags to follow.

Common sense is a good decision maker and problem solver until your mind reaches uncommon problems.

Complexity is a common problem in the Information Age what may put a barrier between you and the future. The principle liberates the mind and designs the future. You will find many ways to get there. None of them is right - only those leading there. Future does not exist yet, so it neither can be right.

Decisions are like a bicycle - they do not move you forward unless you are pedalling this metaphor.

Even if you know how to ask a question, you shall know how to behave with answers.

Everybody can be in the process of deciding. If it takes ages - the mode not as decisive as you may think.

Falling in love with ideas is a romantic act. Falling out of them is a rational adventure.

Future is not common, and common sense is not futuristic. Common sense is like a protester against the future because it challenges common logic, traditions, and norms. Everything that associates with stability is less to do with the future - future is very unstable.

Having no interest or being curious about nothing is just another way to pose questions. This invites a sweet paradox that even thought about lack of curiosity may make a person curious about the lack of curiosity. Where is it?

Intelligence uses knowledge to solve problems. More people can be proud of knowledge they have - fewer with intelligence. Everyone can get knowledge by holding one's attention for three seconds to gather it. Intelligence may require more than three seconds.

Obedient thinking acts obediently. Then, the mind obeys to complexity like falling bricks respect the laws of physics. Not the best way to solve trouble because the mind is in a self-created bubble.

Originality is greedy - it requires full engagement.

Possibilities are hope in numbers. Even the most certain statement - your dinner at 7 pm - may not happen because many things can influence the change of events. What is taken for sure will score the highest likelihood, but never the certitude because the world runs on probabilities. Like a game.

Questions trade time, energy and skills to answers which govern complexity.

Standards for decisions are the platform. They are like a court to do justice.

The alliance of character and rationality is a serious question. The alliance involves both agents. The character is needed because logic will give you the structure, but will never tell you what should be inserted in it. The character is necessary because logic will tell you what is missing, but will not add anything new. The character is needed because logic will show you the optimal process of making things done without ever introducing how to make things done better. Logic will criticise everything, but never create anything. Logic alone is the tool to judge, plan or think, but it is invisible. Logic cares about your sentiments as the fork cares about your taste.

The brilliant mind is a better leader than a person who looks brilliant.

The fastest way to become ridiculously biased is to collect opinions like berries and ignore facts. However, gathering facts are more useful berries; opinions have a better taste.

The leadership of the question is leading your mind while your mind governs this leader.

The mindset is like an individual program having its logic.

The problem is like a virus - both have their structures. To solve a problem is to crash the structure because structures make things work. Patterns are structural, so finding the design of the problem and killing it sends the problem to the graveyard.

The problem is the master to cause you a beautiful disaster. One can solve nothing but it.

The question is the answer.

There are probably no cases where there would be impossible to pose questions.

The society does not need every possibility at the moment, but a good questions makes every need possible.

The worst thing about logic - it is not democratic. Logic wears an autocratic mask. No compromises are made there for things are binary. Only intellectual standards democratise it to make it human. That is why you joined rationality with character. Rationality is autocratic - what is wrong does not live for long. Wrong facts, theories, and conclusions die - useless to apply in spite of their unlimited supply.

This is the standard to determine the excellence, not the comparison to existing options. Knowing the standard, imagine two situations. Starting with 123 dishes to pick for dinner. Having no standard will lead you to compare option with option. But if it happens you have the standard, irrelevant alternatives go out of the game almost immediately. Options get compared to the standard, not other options. If options are not good enough to satisfy the standard, they get out.

To manage complexity, one needs to understand it to release oneself from the comfort zone or liberate the comfort zone from prejudice.

To question is to think, act and create, so answers become thoughtful, actionable and creative.

What unites computer and a person is logic.

When it comes to the zone of uncertainty, questology is the compass to lead through the smoke of doubt.

With the logic in quest, impossible starts looking difficult. Difficulty declines where impossible eventually becomes done.

Your priority is the authority.
