"Humans live within their ideas. If they like the idea, they just carry on doing what they are doing. If they don't like the idea, then they say there is something wrong with themselves. But really it is just a problem with the idea."
"someone looks at a little piece of what they can see, and they make a few hypotheses, and it all works very well, so then they extrapolate those ideas into things that are beyond what they can actually see, and they get into big trouble that way."
"In humans, the way they think is very much controlled by their feelings. That is because humans find it hard to have their feelings on their own, without a story to make them fit."
" do not fear death, because they know that they will die. But as thinking things, they have been taught to fear death. . . . The reason people don't like to die is that they don't want to leave their nice warm ideas behind."
"You can have a huge effect on the way that humans think, and see the world, by putting your ideas into stories that they will believe...because they can't tell the difference between what they feel and what they think."
"When a human is at peace with uncertainty, they can rest in what is real, what is real is true, what is true is useful, what is useful is beautiful, what is beautiful is love."
