Wisdom is about overcoming foolishness. So you understand wisdom by understanding foolishness, and you understand foolishness as not identical to ignorance.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0John Vervaeke<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cStop demonizing any faculty and stop deifying any faculty. Your intuition will lead you as much wrong as your reason, as much wrong as your emotions, as much wrong as your logic.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0John Vervaeke<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe very processes that make us intelligent problem solvers [and] make us so adaptive are the very same processes that make us prone to self-deceptive, self-destructive behavior.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0John Vervaeke<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe pick up on all kinds of complex patterns that are not real and we form intuitions around them, but when we don\u2019t like our intuition, we don\u2019t call it intuition, we call it bias or prejudice or racism or sexism or a whole bunch of other things.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0John Vervaeke<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cLogic does not tell you how to go from a weaker logic to a stronger logic. I can do all the possible manipulations within predicate logic and it won\u2019t get me to motor logic. I have to do something outside of that to actually increase my logical competence. So there\u2019s no panacea.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0John Vervaeke<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYes, your emotions can lead you astray, but try living without them and see how rational you can be.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0John Vervaeke<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI don\u2019t like the argument that goes, \u2018Consciousness is weird, quantum is weird, therefore consciousness is quantum.\u2019 That\u2019s just ridiculous.
