Quotes by Woo-Kyoung Ahn (?)

“When we keep trying to find answers to questions that are probably unanswerable, we may start to feel worse and worse.”

“Specific examples and anecdotes can oftentimes be too powerful, leading us to violate important rational principles. In 2020, for example, it was not uncommon to hear people say things like, “My grandfather tested positive for COVID-19, and he recovered in one week. COVID is just the flu, after all,” or “My friend never wears a mask, and he didn’t catch COVID.” For many people, one or two anecdotes from people they know are more persuasive than scientific evidence based on much larger samples.”

“make people laugh at us in the future. Why did we create a society that not only forces most people to work to live but also makes even the most privileged feel like they have to work desperately hard all the time?”
