Rationality Quotes October 2013

Another month has passed and here is a new rationality quotes thread. The usual rules are:

Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
Do not quote yourself.
Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, HPMoR, Eliezer Yudkowsky, or Robin Hanson. If you'd like to revive an old quote from one of those sources, please do so here.
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.

Is there a transcript anywhere? I can read much more quickly than I can listen, and the talk is pretty long.

I have to say that I'm skeptical though, that hatred would inherently be any more "false" than love.

Due to fundamental attribution bias, understanding people's motivations deeply is likely to make you love them more and hate them less.

I'd guess the talk is mostly a slightly inferior version of Harris' short ebook Free Will.

I'm afraid I know of no transcript. I would recommend the talk.
