Kindle Notes & Highlights
Most people, most of the time, perceive things in the far future as less valuable than things closer to the present.

Only then would they come to understand that unimagined joy and contentment exists on the other side of the cognitive bias electrified fence hemming them in. Only then would they truly understand that our decision-making was not meant to handle decisions on the scale of the entire planet because the causal forces are impossible for any one mind to gather and hold in its mind’s eye at once.
People still sleep like people sleep just with radios playing in their ears to indoctrinate them.
