Dominance

Daniel Kahneman Psychologist, Nobel Laureate

"The dominance of conclusions over arguments is most pronounced where emotions are involved."

Sigmund Freud Neurologist, Psychoanalyst

"It must be pointed out, however, that strictly speaking it is incorrect to talk of the dominance of the pleasure principle over the course of mental processes. If such a dominance existed, the immense majority of our mental processes would have to be accompanied by pleasure or to lead to pleasure, whereas universal experience completely contradicts any such conclusion."

Carl Sagan Astronomer, Astrophysicist

"One of the great commandments of science is, 'Mistrust arguments from authority'. (Scientists, being primates, and thus given to dominance hierarchies, of course do not always follow this commandment.)"

James A. Baldwin Writer

"The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love."
