Put a frog in a pot of boiling water and it will jump out. Put it in a pot of cold water that is slowly heated, and it won't notice a thing and stay in the pot.

What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.
(Wittgenstein 1975)
The early effects on the brain of steroid hormones are called ‘organizational’, in the sense that they organize the central nervous system to be like that of a male. The absence of gonadal hormones allows the brain to remain disorganized, that is to be like that of a female.
(A. Agmo)
... I developed the notion of the enfolded or implicate order. The essential feature of this idea was that the whole universe is in some way enfolded in everything and that each thing is enfolded in the whole. From this it follows that in some way, and to some degree everything enfolds or implicates everything, but in such a manner that under typical conditions of ordinary experience, there is a great deal of relative independence of things. The basic proposal is then that this enfoldment relationship is not merely passive or superficial. Rather, it is active and essential to what each thing is. It follows that each thing, is internally related to the whole, and therefore, to everything else. The external relationships are then displayed in the unfolded or explicate order in which each thing is seen, as has already indeed been indicated, as relatively separate and extended, and related only externally to other things. The explicate order, which dominates ordinary experience as well as classical (Newtonian) physics, thus appears to stand by itself. But actually, it cannot be understood properly apart from its ground in the primary reality of the implicate order.
(D. Bohm)
Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.
(G. H. Hardy)
Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
