Quotes by Paul Bloom  (?)

“Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.”
Paul Bloom, How Pleasure Works: Why we like what we like

“the egalitarian lifestyles of hunter-gatherers exist because the individuals care a lot about status. Individuals in these societies end up roughly equal because everyone is struggling to ensure that nobody gets too much power over him or her. This is invisible-hand egalitarianism.”
Paul Bloom, Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil

“And it isn’t a mistake in taste, like believing that the Matrix sequels were as good as the original.”
Paul Bloom, Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil
