“The brain builds a version of the universe and projects this version of the universe like a bubble all around us. So I can say with some certainty, 'I think therefore I am.' But I cannot say, 'You think therefore you are,' because you are within my perceptual bubble.”

“The best way to figure out how something works is to try to build it from scratch.”

“Think of a forest, then imagine taking 10,000 trees and squeezing them together until there is essentially no space between them. That's what the neocortical column looks like.”

“I hate to rain on anyone's parade or burst the enthusiasm bubble, but talk is especially cheap during an election season.”

“It's actually a privileged existence - I get to do some work, but I can walk down the street and have an absolutely normal life, rather than existing in some strange bubble.”

“I usually live in my own ignorant, pop-culture bubble, so I don't really know what people are doing.”
