Michael Pollan Quote
On this question, he holds with Henri Bergson, the French philosopher, who conceived of the human mind as a kind of radio receiver, able to tune in to frequencies of energy and information that exist outside it. If you wanted to find the blonde who delivered the news last night, Richards offered by way of an analogy, you wouldn’t look for her in the TV set. The television set is, like the human brain, necessary but not sufficient.
