Quote by Robert M. Sapolsky

“I’m being diplomatic. Many readers will know of the “replication crisis” in psychology, where an alarming percentage of published findings, even some in textbooks, turn out to be hard or impossible for other scientists to independently replicate (including some findings, I admit ruefully, that wound up being cited in my 2017 book, where I should have been more discerning). Thus, this section considers only findings whose broad conclusions have been independently replicated.”

Her eyes traced down the column of this throat, the sharp edge of his collarbone just below his open collar, the spot over his heart where hours ago, in another life, she'd rested her hand and felt the rhythm of his pulse. "How are we going to get Zephyr out of the dungeon?" she asked his chest.”

“Sistema 1 vs. sistema 2: duas formas de pensar Vá à rua e pergunte qualquer coisa, todos tem uma opinião sobre tudo na ponta da língua, e acreditam que a opinião não somente é genuína, original, como é verdade, ou próximo da verdade. Isso vai desde assuntos como política, como ciência, tratamentos médicos, como se curar de dor de cabeça e ressaca, câncer e mais. Isso é o sistema 1 em ação. O sistema 1 cria a ilusão de conhecimento e certeza.”
