More From Daniel Kahneman

I turn sentences around. that's my life. i write a sentence and then i turn it around. then i look at it and i turn it around again. then i have lunch. then i come back in and write another sentence. then i have tea and turn the new sentence around. then i read the two sentences over and turn them both around. then i lie down on my sofa and think. then i get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.
Lying Writing Thinking
It's kind of like sentencing. a lot of people say that we have a heavy sentence for this crime and a light sentence for another crime, and what we ought to do is reduce the heavy sentence so it's more in line with the other. wrong. in most cases we ought to increase the light sentence and make it compatible with the heavy sentence, and be serious about punishment because we are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country.

The first sentence of the truth is always the hardest. each of us had a first sentence, and most of us found the strength to say it out loud to someone who deserved to hear it. what we hoped, and what we found, was that the second sentence of the truth is always easier than the first, and the third sentence is even easier than that. suddenly you are speaking the truth in paragraphs, in pages. the fear, the nervousness, is still there, but it is joined by a new confidence. all along, you've used the first sentence as a lock. but now you find that it's the key.

The book works better if i know everything i can about the ending. not just what happens, but how it happens and what the language is; not just the last sentence, but enough of the sentences surrounding that last sentence to know what the tone of voice is. i imagined it as something almost musical. then you are writing toward something; you know the sound of your voice at the end of the story. that's how you want to sound in those final sentences: the degree that it is uplifting or not, the degree that it is melancholic or not.

Identical twins are ideal lab specimens for studying the difference between learned and inherited traits since they come from the womb preloaded with matching genetic operating systems. any meaningful differences in their behaviors or personalities are thus likely to have been acquired, not innate.

I dislike the phrase ‘internet friends,’ because it implies that people you know online aren’t really your friends, that somehow the friendship is less real or meaningful to you because it happens through skype or text messages. the measure of a friendship is not its physicality but its significance.

The russians are clearly already engaged in a proxy war against the government of ukraine. and that is something that we and the rest of the world have actively condemned and sanctioned russia already heavily for, particularly the united states, as we have imposed now meaningful, tough sanctions in critical sectors, including the defense sector, the financial sector, and the energy sector.
