The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian) / quote 27 of 254
We are the same because we believe it
‘Physically we’re not the same, psychologically we’re not the same, genetically we’re the same but that doesn’t mean anything really; we may have certain patterns of brain organisation that predispose us temperamentally in certain ways, so we’re the same in that sense but then lots of other people probably have the same organisational patterns, so every which way you look at it we’re not really the same. What makes us the same is that we believe we’re the same.’
