"The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter."
— Malcolm Gladwell (Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking)

"We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We're a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don't really have an explanation for."
