Scott Adams
“We humans like to think we are creatures of reason. We aren't. The reality is that we make our decisions first and rationalize them later....Your illusion of being a rational person is supported by the fact that sometimes you do act rationally.”
Scott Adams, Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter

Beth Buelow
“Faking is a waste of energy, and our energy is one of our most valuable assets. Spend it wisely.”
Beth Buelow, The Introvert Entrepreneur: Amplify Your Strengths and Create Success on Your Own Terms

Eric A. Posner
“This arrangement, in which users take advantage of services and the company gains all the upside of the data they generate, may sound novel, but it is actually very old. Prior to the rise of capitalism, feudal labor arrangements worked similarly. Lords insulated their serfs from fluctuations in markets and guaranteed them safety and traditional rights to use the land and to keep enough of their crop to survive. In exchange, lords took all the upside of the market return on serfs’ agricultural output. Similarly, today, siren servers provide useful and enjoyable information services, while taking the market value of the data we produce in exchange. We thus refer to this contemporary system as “technofeudalism.”
Eric A. Posner, Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society

Arnold Kling
“Thus, I would view political disagreement as a social phenomenon rather than an individual one. We naturally tend to organize into tribe-like groups. Tribes differentiate in part on the basis of shared beliefs, including political beliefs. Our inclination to seek high status in a tribe leads us to become loyal to the beliefs of our tribe. This results in persistent disagreement.”
Arnold Kling, The Three Languages of Politics

Leonhard Euler
“Quand mon cerveau excite dans mon ame la sensation d'un arbre ou d'une maison, je prononce hardiment, qu'il existe réellement hors de moi un arbre ou une maison, dont je connois même le lieu, la grandeur ou d'autres propriétés. Ainsi ne trouve-t-on ni homme ni bête qui doutent de cette vérité. Si un paysan en vouloit douter ; s'il disoit, par exemple, qu'il ne croyait pas que son baillif existe, quoiqu'il fut devant lui, on le pretendroit pour un fou et cela avec raison : mais dès qu'un philosophe avance de tels sentimens, il veut qu'on admire son esprit et ses lumières, qui surpassent infiniment celles du peuple.”
Leonhard Euler, Letters of Euler to a German princess, on different subjects in physics and philosophy. Translated from the French by Henry Hunter, D.D. With original ... terms. In two volumes. ... Volume 1 of 2
