Text of the day: “Being wrong about human behaviour half the time is our guiding star, Leo! It’s what’s telling us the study of the mind is not a science. We’re dealing in mind stuff that doesn’t show up in a scan — accountability, duty, freewill, language, all the stuff that makes behaviour unpredictable.” (Hilary in Tom Stoppard’s The Hard Problem)
