👋 Favourite daily quotes from readwise.io/@louis
By selecting and growing those few species of plants and animals that we can eat, so that they constitute 90 percent rather than 0.1 percent of the biomass on an acre of land, we obtain far more edible calories per acre. As a result, one acre can feed many more herders and farmers— typically, 10 to 100 times more—than hunter-gatherers. That strength of brute numbers was the first of many military advantages that food-producing tribes gained over hunter-gatherer tribes.
Jared M. Diamond - Guns, Germs and Steel
1999, W. W. Norton & Company
Now it is far from obvious, from a logical point of view, that we are justifed in inferring universal statements from singular ones, no matter how numerous; for any conclusion drawn in this way may always turn out to be false: no matter how many instances of white swans we may have observed, this does not justify the conclusion that all swans are white.
The Logic of Scientific Discovery
Karl Popper
The two biggest barriers to good decision making are your ego and your blind spots.
