A Couple Quotes From This Episode "We all know that everybody's different, but we act as if they're just like us." "We all do all of these things, but we have a bias toward one over the other two. That bias is really a system of values: what do I think is important in life?" "Better human beings make better leaders, and one of the most important things that makes us better human beings is a wider circle of compassion."
