Anyone?

remember the source of this quote?

"God is like us, but more powerful and kinder, the man or woman in our heads
is like us, but invisible; while the gene is like us, but smaller and
smarter.....we explain order anthropomorphically; when we create order, we
draw on our knowledge according to certain designs, reasons.....these ways
of organizing reality are so fundamental to us, at least in the Western
tradition, that when we attempt to come to grips with our own mental
processes, we do so by placing another "we" inside us, the mentalistic
'ghost in the machine' ".

regards,
Hugh
