Viewed within a multiparadigmatic framework, cognitive psychology may be the most likely of the existing schools to move psychology to the Kuhnian stage of normal science. However, the apparent emergence of the neuroscientific school allows us to question how long the cognitive school will remain dominant, and it is possible that within the next decade the two schools will directly compete for transcendence.

Citizens of the world's richest and most technically advanced nations will find it increasingly painful to keep up with the incessant demand for change.

Isaac Asimov

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served... Low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.

Jane Jacobs
