More From David Eagleman

When we think of design, we usually imagine things that are chosen because they are designed. vases or comic books or architecture... it turns out, though, that most of what we make or design is actually aimed at a public that is there for something else. the design is important, but the design is not the point. call it "public design"... public design is for individuals who have to fill out our tax form, interact with our website or check into our hotel room despite the way it's designed, not because of it.

Soon after you're dead - we're not sure how long - but not long, you'll be united with the most ecstatic love you've ever known. as one of the best things in your life was human love, this will be love, but much more satisfying, and it will last forever.
