Quote by Oliver Burkeman

“We mustn't let Silicon Valley off the hook, but we should be honest: much of the time, we give in to distraction willingly. Something in us wants to be distracted, whether by our digital devices or anything else - to not spend our lives on what we thought we cared about the most.”

“La psicologia dell’epoca di Jung e Freud cerca di radicarsi in concetti fisici (come l’energia potenziale) per giustificarsi scientificamente. Vediamo quindi il solco profondo lasciato dalle prime critiche alla psicologia, che la spingono ad abbandonare una personificazione dell’inconscio a favore di un concetto di inconscio non personificato, più neutro e scientifico. Forse questa deriva che ha preso la psicologia, cioè il cercare di giustificarsi scientificamente con concetti presi in prestito alle scienze naturali, ha rappresentato un danno che ha impedito alla psicologia di fare propri concetti apparentemente legati alla religione, come il concetto di anima.”
