Kindle Notes & Highlights
Everyone liked to believe they were in charge of their thoughts, but it just wasn’t so. If the mind was a factory, then the machinery that did the real work was a closed system, and the finished products rarely resembled the raw materials. We don’t build our thoughts any more than the CEO of Ford builds cars.
Strange how swiftly the illusions of safety and civilization shredded. The things that we take as a given are not given. They’re imagined and implemented and maintained and protected one day at a time, and they are delicate.
Shouldn’t the world shift with each death? Shouldn’t we all feel each murder?
Nature documentaries were far more existentially frightening than slasher films.
