When I said that people can get creative in the face of the inexplicable, I meant that we’re skilled at adopting new rules to expand our narrative structure. I don’t believe in ghosts. If I see one, I can either add a rule that nullifies my senses, or I can add a rule that permits the supernatural. I may not know which is true, so I have to choose. I think people tend to be self-serving in those choices. We see the world as we want to see it.”
