Insights from How Philosophy Works

“There is no such thing as a sub-atomic particle.”

Your brain is basically a filter for reality. You never actually see the world exactly as it is.

“We are what we repeatedly do.”

Living a good life isn't about following rules. It is about practicing habits until they become your character.

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”

Language is a trap. Half our problems come from using words that don't actually mean anything concrete.

“A machine can never be a person.”

Computers might think but they will never actually feel. There is a huge gap between processing data and having experiences.
