It seems that the increased number of scientific workers, their being split up into groups whose studies are limited to a small subject, and over-specialization have brought about a shrinking of intelligence. There is no doubt that the quality of any human group decreases when the number of the individuals composing this group increases beyond certain limits... The best way to increase the intelligence of scientists would be to decrease their number.

Alexis Carrel

The utility of a language as a tool of thought increases with the range of topics it can treat, but decreases with the amount of vocabulary and the complexity of grammatical rules which the user must keep in mind. Economy of notation is therefore important.

Kenneth E. Iverson

Whatever increases, decreases, limits or extends the body's power of action, increases decreases, limits, or extends the mind's power of action. And whatever increases, decreases, limits, or extends the mind's power of action, also increases, decreases, limits, or extends the body's power of action.

Baruch Spinoza

Society thrives on trade simply because trade makes specialization possible, and specialization increases output, and increased output reduces the cost in toil for the satisfactions men live by. That being so, the market place is a most humane institution.

Frank Chodorov

Success means your options multiply. Size increases complexity, and complexity can confuse vision.

Andy Stanley

Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.

Andre Gide

The complexity increases exponentially when you try and combine two companies that both need to be restructured in their own right.

Ted Waitt

Whenever regulation increases, personal freedom decreases.

Alan Wilson

Just in the ratio knowledge increases, faith decreases.

Thomas Carlyle

Alas! How enthusiasm decreases, as our experience increases!

Louise Colet

In proportion therefore, as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wage decreases.

Karl Marx

Prudence and love are inconsistent; in proportion as the last increases, the other decreases.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.

Brian Eno

The daily grinding of evolution, as accelerated by technology, churns out more and more complex organisms, with higher rates of energy use, and with increasing specialization. Minds are the ideal way to express complexity, energy density, increasing specialization, expanding diversity -- all in one system. Mindedness is what evolution produces. Mindedness is what technology wants, too.

Kevin Kelly

Anyone who gives a surgeon six thousand dollars for breast augmentation should give some thought to investing a little more in brain augmentation.

Mike Royko

The hours spent viewing TV are hours not available for actively participating in the real world, or playing, or being involved with friends and family. Watching television is an individual activity that tends to discourage interaction with others; as viewing time increases, family communication time decreases. As family communication decreases, people grow more distant from each other and may even forget how to carry on a good conversation.
