-
There's no greater tragedy than an equal intensity, in the same soul or the same man, of the intellectual sentiment and the moral sentiment. For a man to be utterly and absolutely moral, he has to be a bit stupid. For a man to be absolutely intellectual, he has to be a bit immoral.
Fernando Pessoa
-
I think we need to be human. Nobody is objective.

They shouldn't show systematic change over human history. But they do.
Paul Bloom
