“Writing a book about [Buckminster Fuller] in the sense of deciding how much to - how much biographically to gloss over and how much I can leave out is relatively easy as it is because the true believers already know everything. They know a lot of things that are not true and they know a lot of things that I thought were (and seems there's very good evidence not to believe) and therefore, my starting point was I think to tell his myth because that's what grabbed me.” ThinkingKnowsWritingBelieveI CanBookSeemsEasyEvidenceStartingVery GoodMythBelieverWriting A BookStarting PointTrue BelieverGlossBuckminster Fuller Author:Jonathon Keats

“ACT psychology is a psychology of the normal. A lot of the psychologies that are out there are built on the psychology of the abnormal. We have all these syndromal boxes that we can put people in and so forth. The actual evidence on syndromes is not very good. There's no specific biological marker for any of the things that you see talked about in the media. Even things like schizophrenia - there's no specific and sensitive biological markers for these things. There may be some abnormal processes involved, but vastly more of human suffering comes from normal processes that run away from us.” PeopleRunningSufferingPsychologyEvidenceVery GoodSensitiveRunning AwaySchizophreniaHuman Suffering Author:Steven C.
