“If you’re interested in psychology of the mind, there’s a book called Naming The Mind by Kurt Danzinger …”

I like the idea that water doesn’t taste of anything because we evolved to detect contaminants.

Cedric, if you haven't as yet, I'd strongly recommend you read her book - Seven And A Half Lessons About The Brain. It's a short book, but super content rich!! is such a powerhouse! One of my favorites books of last year!
