People in contemporary society have inherited and learned unconsciously an enormous number of ancient modes of thought, some of which can be traced back for many millions of years....For millions of years these 'defaults’ of the mind have worked well [but] they do not...work so well in the day-to-day world of modern life.
— Robert Ornstein and Paul R Ehrlich, New World New Mind: Moving Toward Conscious Evolution, 1989
