Daniel Dennett

Douglas R. Hofstadter
“In the end, we self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages are little miracles of self-reference.”
Douglas Hofstadter, I Am a Strange Loop

Sam Harris
“How can we be “free” as conscious agents if everything that we consciously intend is caused by events in our brain that we do not intend and of which we are entirely unaware? We can’t.”
Sam Harris

Sam Harris
“The problem with religion, because it's been sheltered from criticism, is that it allows people to believe en masse what only idiots or lunatics could believe in isolation.”
Sam Harris

Isaac Asimov
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov
