Mind Reading Illusion

Like a mirage on a May highway, Mind Reading Illusion is most convincing to those who are most thirsty.

What the illusion teaches is not distrust of the eyes but respect for the gap between seeing and knowing. In that gap live most of our avoidable mistakes.

Learning is the one wealth that survives every partition of fortune. Do not memorise it. Notice it. Noticing is the senior discipline.
