MY OPINION ISN'T (A) RIGHT

My notes while reading:

  • The author begins with some humor about the British right to sleep as a device to get the reader on his side already
  • Saying you're entitled to your opinion is a red herring
  • Our duty to others during a conversation is to help them learn and to learn ourselves
  • Is truth more important than being right?
  • Being right is the icing on top of the cake of truth, but some people tend go with the icing and forgo the cake at all
My notes during class:

  • Interdependence, not only do we live in a network, but our network is connected to other networks
  • Limbic- part of the brain that is governed by emotion
  • Schema
  • "Fiction is the lie that tells the truth"
