Here's another installment of rationality quotes. The usual rules apply:
- 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- Do not quote yourself.
- Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, Overcoming Bias, or HPMoR.
- No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
How often? I can imagine this heuristic being better or worse depending on the details of which figures are chosen and how the are used.
There's some good discussion in Thinking, Fast and Slow about when intuition works well.
