Robert M. Sapolsky Quote
These capacities evolved so recently that our brains are, if you will, winging it and improvising on the fly when dealing with metaphor. As a result, we are actually pretty lousy at distinguishing between the metaphorical and literal, at remembering that it’s only a figure of speech—with enormous consequences for our best and worst behaviors.
