...why?
It seems everyone's been aiming at the same meta-level, so I thought I'd try something a bit less direct.
The quote, for me, comments on several common themes around here. Probably the strongest connections I make are to updating of priors based on evidence, and to the issue of communication, when the speakers possess different levels of self awareness and rational thinking ability.
The image is also one of the most recognizable from the book, and I thought it's worth while having it referenced here - though I suppose I should have researched a less oblique quote.
(Last month's started a little late, I thought I'd bring it back to its original schedule.)
