The human brain is complex beyond anybody’s imagining, let alone comprehension. We are not a few miles down a long road; we are a few inches down the long road. All the rest is literature.

  1. Hmm… interesting. Although, I’m not sure what the “All the rest is literature” is all about. It’s either I’m an idiot or summer is messing me up. Considering it’s probably a mix of both, what is that supposed to mean?

  2. He means that psychologists only understand basic things like perception, memory, motor control, etc, and literature is what explores more complex things like love, revenge, forgiveness, etc. Thanks for the comment.
