"Reading helps us to construct models of the world. Even after we’ve forgotten exactly what we’ve read, it’s effect of your model of the world persists." -- Paul Graham
"Reading and experience train your model of the world. And even if you forget the experience or what you read, its effect on your model of the world persists."
