Rationality Quotes December 2013

Rationality quotes time!

The usual rules:

  • Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)

  • Do not quote yourself.

  • Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, HPMoR, Eliezer Yudkowsky, or Robin Hanson. If you’d like to revive an old quote from one of those sources, please do so here.

  • No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
