“I don’t know how you do it.” Heather. Her neighbor. This was another thing people always said, criticism disguised as compliment. Rosie laughed. Fake laughed. “Well. You know.” “No, I mean seriously.” But she did not mean seriously.
“Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete.”

“Journalism is an enemy of rationality. What makes news? The unusual and the spectacular, which by their nature distort reality and pervert our decisions. You read headlines like 15 KILLED IN PLANE CRASH IN WYOMING. You don’t read headlines like ANOTHER 2,000 DIED OF HEART DISEASE YESTERDAY. This leads to the Availability Fallacy. Our lazy mind gloms on to the most vivid, emotional examples. When we think of danger, we think of hideous plane crashes or acts of terrorism, even though boring old cars kill eighty-four times more people.”
