Anne Carson
“Why does poverty exist? Because stinginess does.”
Anne Carson, Wrong Norma

Robert Macfarlane
“A small 'self' suffers and causes suffering, [while] a love of the living world lets single identities and selfhoods expand and encompass other beings, entities and whole landscapes, such that the self becomes a spacious thing.”
Robert Macfarlane, Is a River Alive?

“Humans are the most complex and powerful species ever, not just because of what happens in individual brains, but because of how communities of brains work together.”
Steven Sloman, The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone

“Language, memory, attention--indeed, all mental functions--can be thought of as operating in a way that is distributed across a community according to a division of cognitive labor.”
Steven Sloman, The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone

“Most experts love the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise, especially when their contribution is acknowledged. Contributing to the community of knowledge is in our collaborative nature.”
Steven Sloman, The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone
