Adapt and Change to Survive
The March 2006 issue of TD (Training and Development Magazine) has an article by Tom Peters. I like his statement:
There’s a Darwinian-sounding quote I like. It says something like, “It’s not the most intelligent that survive. It’s not the biggest that survive. It’s those that are most able to adapt and change.
I’m worried about our intellectual community and America. The misunderstandings about the scientific method have resulted in great harms to America. Since 1992 I have been urging the correction of these misunderstandings. To correct them is going to take a lot of adaptation and change. But our leaders don’t want the trouble this will cause. So they ignore my pleas to at least study the blunder I describe. They and America will survive, but it is sure going to hurt America’s competitiveness and eventually our standard of living if the blunder is not corrected soon.
