Jonathan Haidt
“The human mind is a story processor, not a logic processor.”
Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

Jonathan Haidt
“We’re all stuck here for a while, so let’s try to work it out.”
Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion

“The first rule of improvisation is AGREE. Always agree and SAY YES. When you're improvising, this means you are required to agree with whatever your partner has created. So if we're improvising and I say, 'Freeze, I have a gun,' and you say, 'That's not a gun. It's your finger. You're pointing your finger at me,' our improvised scene has ground to a halt. But if I say, 'Freeze, I have a gun!' and you say, 'The gun I gave you for Christmas! You bastard!' then we have started a scene because we have AGREED that my finger is in fact a Christmas gun.”
Tina Fey, Bossypants

Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

John Maynard Keynes
“Professional investment may be likened to those newspaper competitions in which the competitors have to pick out the six prettiest faces from a hundred photographs, the prize being awarded to the competitor whose choice most nearly corresponds to the average preferences of the competitors as a whole; so that teach competitor has to pick not those faces which he himself finds prettiest, but those which he thinks likeliest to catch the fancy of the other competitors, all of whom are looking at the problem from the same point of view. It is not a case of choosing those which, to the best of one's judgement are really the prettiest, nor even those which average opinion genuinely thinks the prettiest. We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be. And there are some, I believe, who practice the fourth, fifth and higher degrees.”
John Maynard Keynes
