Our biggest waste

I think the capacity to reason is wasted on homo sapiens. I have never, in my life, encountered a species with such infinite capacity for thought so stubbornly committed to weaseling out of using it. Except insofar as it can help them avoid doing so.

It is not that people are incapable of reasoning. It is that they willfully refuse to do so. For fear of overspending their severely limited capacity to ever admit they are wrong about any goddamned thing.
