    2. When we use big words like god, consciousness, truth, freedom we are seldom talking about the same thing
    3. Evolution.
    4. We think we are a lot more special than we actually are.
    5. Life has no purpose. My life and your life might.
    6. Our differences are a very small part of who we are
    7. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission
    8. Dogs exhibit human traits like guilt, remorse and worry*
    9. People exhibit canine traits like loyalty, dignity and cheerfulness*
    10. There is a difference between judgment and discrimination
    11. I don’t really know

    * Robert Anton Wilson
