You're never going to feel bad about your whole life if you loved people and you were curious. I mean, that's kind of all I want!”

“When children are very young, they have natural curiosities about the world and explore them, trying diligently to figure out what is real. As they become "producers " they fall away from exploration and start fishing for the right answers with little thought.

“Pretjerano čitanje ne čini nas pametnijim. Neki ljudi jednostavno 'gutaju' knjige. Oni to čine bez onih neophodnih intervala razmišljanja, koji su potrebni da se pročitano 'svari', preradi, usvoji, razumije. Kod čitanja lični doprinos je potreban kao što je pčeli potreban 'unutrašnji' rad, pa i vrijeme, da sakupljeni cvijetni prah pretvori u med.”

“Individual humans know embarrassingly little about the world, and as history progressed, they came to know less and less. A hunter-gatherer in the Stone Age
knew how to make her own clothes, how to start a fire, how to hunt rabbits and how to escape lions. We think we know far more today, but as individuals, we actually know far less. We rely on the expertise of others for almost all our needs. In one humbling experiment, people were asked to evaluate how well they understood the workings of an ordinary zip. Most people confidently replied that they understood
them very well - after all, they use zips all the time. They were then asked to describe in as much detail as possible all the steps involved in the zip's operation. Most had no idea. This is what Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach have termed 'the knowledge
illusion'. We think we know a lot, even though individually we know very little, because we treat knowledge in the minds of others as if it were our own.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

“We are here to have questions, doubt, and then find/adjust ourselves back…finding each and every way we can act out our truth in this material form. And the consciousness and awareness of the knowledge of each unique experience is then added to our larger awareness and never lost.
Yes, for there is nothing lost. All truth is available to us at any time.”
― Gwen Juvenal, Our New Story: Guides in the Garden Volume 1
