try to understand the world, but never try to make sense of the world. Coherence could very possibly just one random storyline coming out of a gazillion of random worldlines.

"oh that makes sense", i constantly utter this to myself while reading this book, without realizing that my comment is simply a reaction to the coherence presented in the book's narrative. How hard was my system 2 at work? I don't know, but according to the book, it is very lazy and it really likes simple answers to easy question and blindly follow authoritative words. I feel like my mind is gonna be devoured soon.

funny that the field is switching to type 1 and 2 just as predicted by astronomers.

just started. seems fairly easy to read, maybe I'll be able to finish within a month. it's funny that behavioral and social sciences also name things by this utterly unimaginative terms like "system 1" and "system 2", just like our type one and two...
