The universe is too complicated to make final conclusions possible
Self-pity is the worst sin
Your perceptions are based on your biography
The illusion of free will is based on vanity
You are only innocent when you live in the now
Serial killers are extremely boring people
Much of what happens to you is down to chance
Anger and disgust protect you
Alienation produces psychotics, revolutionaries and fundamentalists
Evil people don’t understand what they do
Life is so simple that a child of five could get it
Who and what you are is reflected in your behavior and in your face
Sex differences are bigger than we imagine
Most people would rather be right than happy
The Self is just a label – perhaps no more than your name
History reveals no progress at all
Moralising is for the small-minded
Democracy is tyrannical
Chemicals have a bigger influence on people than many of us realise
Mind doesn’t exist in the Head – it’s something you were born into
Your past is a made-up story
Medical science prolongs life but doesn’t improve it
There is something divine in you but its outside your control
Your inner self is genetically coded
Madness is another word for defeat
‘Success’ and ‘failure’ are a matter of dates, places and opinions
Your body knows more about you than you do
Your life journey is not determined. If it were you would have been told what to do and where to go.
