Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

For immanuel kant, the term anthropology embraced all the human sciences, and laid the foundation of familiar knowledge we need, to build solidly grounded ideas about the moral and political demands of human life. margaret mead saw mid-twentieth-century anthropology as engaged in a project no less ambitious than kant's own, and her terry lectures on continuities in cultural evolution provide an excellent point to enter into her reflections.

Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. the commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... the analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.
