Quote by Joao Ricardo Mendes

“As pessoas prevem inventando narrativas. As pessoas prevem muito pouco e explicam tudo. As pessoas vivem sem ter certeza se gostam ou não. As pessoas acreditam que podem prever o futuro se trabalharem com afinco. As pessoas aceitam qualquer explicação contanto que se ajuste aos fatos. A escrita estava na parede só que a tinta era invisível. As pessoas muitas vezes dão duro para obter informação que já têm e evitam novo conhecimento. O homem é um dispositivo determinista lançado em um universo probabilístico. Nessa partida surpresas são esperadas. Tudo que já aconteceu deve ter sido inevitável.”

“People foresee by inventing narratives. People foresee very little and explain everything. People live without being certain whether they like it or not. People believe they can predict the future if they work diligently. People accept any explanation as long as it fits the facts. The writing was on the wall, only the paint was invisible. People often work hard to obtain information they already have and avoid new knowledge. Man is a deterministic device thrown into a probabilistic universe. In this game surprises are expected. Everything that has already happened must have been inevitable.”

“...when I want to tell you a story of fiction, all those kind of college students, they think that they have this holding on me, that they say, we don't want to listen to what you are, we want to listen to a little bit of what you are that goes well with what we're not afraid of (not what we are, we don't know who we are).... But what's most important in our interaction is the word, that the word won't scare us. It can't hurt us in a story, for sure, but we want a word that doesn't scare us. And we are kind of breaking ourself to something that is less and less a persona and more and more kind of a repetitive loop of ever-going forgettable experiences.”
