active
doubt

the more you

your history

make
sense of the present.(pg. 73)Slide11

biases us,
but creates us.

Thread 10:
Life is pretty basic, but it’s not simple.

to go TOWARD
or to go AWAY
from something.

At bottom,
our lives are
in fact nothing more than
millions and
millions of
sequential,
knee-jerk
reflexive responses.(pg. 157)Slide14
