Discovery of Generalized Principles:
“Discoveries are regenerative stimulation of the explorer. They occur whenever he discovers a generalized principle. When his mind discovers a generalized principle permeating whole fields of special-case experiences, the discovery of such a new relationship is not only excitingly new to him as an explorer, but to the best of his knowledge it is heretofore unknown by any others. The stimulation is not that of the discoverer of a diamond-- a physical entity which may be monopolized or exploited to the individual’s advantage-- rather it is an elation over the realization that the newly discovered principle will increase the understandings of humanity and provide spontaneous logic for cooperation where confusion adn controversy had hitherto prevailed.”
