The Amount Of Success It Takes For

If Individuals Are Rational, There Is No Need To Protect Them Against Their Own Choices.

An Individual Who Expresses High Confidence Probably Has A Good Story, Which May Or May Not Be True.

The Confidence People Have In Their Beliefs Is Not A Measure Of The Quality Of Evidence But Of The Coherence Of The Story The Mind Has Managed To Construct.

The Experiencing Self Lives In The Moment; It Is The One That Answers The Question, 'does It Hurt?' Or 'what Were You Thinking About Just Now?' The Remembering Self Is The One That Answers Questions About The Overall Evaluation Of Episodes Or Periods Of One's Life, Such As A Stay In The Hospital Or The Years Since One Left College.

If You Care About Being Thought Credible And Intelligent, Do Not Use Complex Language Where Simpler Language Will Do.
