Any situation in which some men prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence? to alienate humans from their own decision making is to change them into objects. Paulo Freire
The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter. Malcolm Gladwell
Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit. William Pollard
That is, while we believe that cost-benefit analysis is an important tool to inform agency decision making, the results of the cost-benefit analysis do not trump existing law. Fred Thompson
It is such a complex matter we live within, it is impossible to track logic and decision making really, so therefore each choice can actually only be seen as coincidence. Alva Noto
Liberalism does not preclude an organisation of the flow of money in which some channels are used in decision making while others are only good for the payment of debts. Jean-Francois Lyotard
