Quotes

Critical Thinking and Tribalism

“The problem with stories is that they always have a hero and a villain. Real life just has people with different sets of data.” (Chapter 8, p. 94)

Consciousness

“The brain is a pattern-matching machine. It will find a ghost in a dark room even if there’s nothing there but shadows.” (Chapter 19, p. 215)
