He was angry and always speaking out about the way my people were maltreated by the Khoush majority despite the fact that they needed us and our astrolabes to survive. He was always calling them evil, though he’d never traveled to a Khoush ...more

Mladen’s Quotes

“Natanijel Brendan nas upoznaje s pričom o dr. Odri Ričards, antropologu koja je tridesetih godina XX veka radila s plemenom Bemba iz Severne Rodezije. Dr. Ričards je, kaže on, grupi pripadnika tog plemena jednom ispričala englesku narodnu bajku o mladom princu koji se peo uz planine pokrivene ledom, prelazio provalije i borio se sa zmajevima da bi osvojio devojku koju je voleo. Slušaoci su očigledno bili zbunjeni, ali nisu ništa rekli. Najzad se oglasio jedan stari poglavica rečima koje su izražavale osećanja svih prisutnih. ,,Zašto nije uzeo drugu devojku?", jednostavno je upitao.”

“Ljubav se stalno menja zato što se mi stalno menjamo. Stoga romantična ljubav, sama po sebi, donosi nestabilnost. Čini nas nezadovoljnim onim što imamo time što nas uvek usmerava ka nečemu što ne posedujemo u potpunosti, ili posedujemo u nedovoljnoj meri, ili pak u čije smo posedovanje suviše sigurni.”

“A few years ago, Tor Wager, a neuroscientist at Columbia University, wanted to figure out why placebos were so effective. His experiment was brutally straightforward: he gave college students electric shocks while they were stuck in an fMRI machine. (The subjects were well compensated, at least by undergraduate standards.)”

“If someone you know gets sick from taking a flu shot, you will be less likely to get one even if it is statistically safe. In fact, if you see a story on the news about someone dying from the flu shot, that one isolated case could me enough to keep you away from the vaccine forever. On the other hand, if you hear a news story about how eating sausage leads to anal cancer, you will be skeptical, because it has never happened to anyone you know, and sausage, after all, is delicious. The tendency to react more rapidly and to a greater degree when considering information you are familiar with is called the availability heuristic.”
― David McRaney, You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself
