Trying to get the basics right.

"Just so, I maintain, does a given undivided portion of experience, taken in one context of associates, play the part of a knower, of a state of mind, of 'consciousness'; while in a different context the same undivided bit of experience plays the part of a thing known, of an objective 'content.' In a word, in one group it figures as a thought, in another group as a thing. And, since it can figure in both groups simultaneously we have every right to speak of it as subjective and objective, both at once." - William James, Essays in Radical Empiricism

“Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them.” - A. N. Whitehead, An Introduction to Mathematics
