Random quote of the day:

“Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.”

—G. W. F. Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit (tr. A. V. Miller)
