Trying to prove you’re not a psychopath is even harder than trying to prove you’re not mentally ill,’ said Tony.

Ever since I learnt about confirmation bias I've started seeing it everywhere.

We're living in post-nuance online times.

Nothing uniquely bad has happened to me in my personal life, but all the regular little bad things have accumulated to make me a neurotic person. And these adventures are my way of trying to make sense of that.

I am the neurological opposite of a psychopath, in that I feel anxious almost all the time. It must be great to not constantly feel like you’ve got someone living inside your face, shooting you with a mini Taser.

It's not a good idea to define the boundaries of normality by tearing apart people who are outside of it.

I think if somebody is so set in their ways about what they feel about something - and you get this a lot in academia, of course, and also different sorts of journalism too - you're going to sweep under the carpet the facts that don't suit your thesis. And I think that happens quite a lot in the courtroom, for instance.
