Jacob Nordby Quotes

Like The Body Craves Oxygen, The Mind Is Desperate For Certainty. It Believes That Without A Safe Foothold On Reality, It Will Die.
But The Fascinating Thing Is That The Illusion Of Certainty Is Exactly The Opposite Of Safety Because It Hardens And Narrows The Vision To Make Everything Fit Its Own Scope. Then When New Information Arrives Which Would Be Its Ally, The Mind Pushes It Away In Favor Of The Leaky Life Raft To Which It Clings, Sinking All The While Beneath The Waves Of Change.
In Fact, The Only Antidote For This Is To Embrace 'I Don't Know' So Deeply That A Powerful, Dynamic Safety Emerges. This Is Like Learning To Surf So Well That A Tsunami Wave Shows Up As A Challenge To Test Our Mastery.
