Thanks for the article Alex, made me think of some quotes,

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

— Daniel J. Boorstin

The minds knowledge of anything can only be as good as the knowledge it has of itself. Therefore, the consumption of “external” knowledge is mostly futile.

The human mind is a delusion generator, not a window to truth. The best any human can do is to pick a delusion that helps him get through the day.

— Scott Adams

We suffer primarily not from our vices or our weaknesses, but from our illusions. We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in their place.

David Hawkins books sound fascinating is there one book you would recommend reading first?

Thanks

Andrew
