Knowledge gained through experience of plants and animals is not an inferior substitute for proper scientific knowledge; it is the real thing. Direct experience is the only way to build up an understanding that is not only intellectual but intuitive and practical, involving the senses and the heart as well as the rational mind. Scientific investigations can illuminate and enrich this direct practical knowledge, but they are no substitute for it; indeed, they depend on it themselves.

The Feeling of Being Stared At

You’ve probably experienced it: you’re deep into a book or absorbed in your work when suddenly you feel it—a faint sensation at the back of your neck. You turn around and, sure enough, someone is staring at you. Is it just coincidence, or is something more happening here?

Het Gevoel van Aangestaard Worden.

Je kent het vast: je bent verdiept in een boek of aan het werk, en ineens voel je het—een onbestemde prikkel in je nek. Je kijkt om en ja hoor, iemand staart je aan. Toeval? Of is hier iets anders aan de hand?
