Carl Marx said: (not a quotation) Even if one is erudite and possesses superb skill, but without high moral, he can not be a paragon and a great man.

My grandfather recall that in Moscow, a scientist of Soviet even doesn't know there was a W W I. That is good for him not for us, we need to study people.
Art is a door.
We need windows, too--philosophy, history, literatures, etc.

Open Windows it is, or Apple, our common conscious !
