[Quote No.46231] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know. Among the most necessary knowledge is the knowledge of how to live well, that is, how to produce the least possible evil and the greatest goodness in one’s life. At present, people study useless sciences, but forget to study this, the most important knowledge." - Jean Jacques Rousseau

[Quote No.46382] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The brain is a flawed lens through which to see reality. This is true of both mouse brains and human brains. But a human brain is a flawed lens that can understand its own flaws - its systematic errors, its biases - and apply second-order corrections to them. This, in practice, makes the flawed lens far more powerful. Not perfect, but far more powerful." - Eliezer Yudkowsky
