Growth obtained through short-term tactics eventually plateaus. It’s a dead end.
The purpose of the brain is not to perceive correctly, but to act correctly.
Perception is not a tool to see, but a tool to act.
Biases are not bugs of the brain, but features.
Neurons do not evaluate the past, but infer the future.
Pain is not a sensation of the past, but a guide for the future [to avoid further damage].
Happiness is not a place to reach, but a direction to follow.
Emotions are not a judgement of the past, but one of the future.
(Humans do not mourn the past they lost, but the future they lost.)
Making emotional decisions is not a deviation from the original design of the brain, but making rational ones is [because emotion is the metric the brain ultimately uses to measure success].
