“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.” — Joao Ricardo Mendes
