“One of the brain's most prominent skills is the ability to ignore anything that becomes too predictable, no matter how important it may be”

“Sadly, the words "reliable" and "accurate" can rarely be applied to the workings of the brain, particularly for memory.”

“Everything you are is a feature of your brain, and as such much of what your brain does is dedicated to making you look and feel as good as possible. ]...] For example by modifying your memories to make you feel better about yourself.”
