Las dos cabezas

"We actually don't choose between experiences, we choose between memories of experiences. And even when we think about the future, we don't think of our future normally as experiences. We think of our future as anticipated memories. And basically you can look at this, you know, as a tyranny of the remembering self, and you can think of the remembering self sort of dragging the experiencing self through experiences that the experiencing self doesn't need." 
Daniel Kahneman

"En realidad, no elegimos entre nuestras experiencias, elegimos entre los recuerdos de nuestras experiencias. Incluso cuando pensamos en el futuro, pensamos en nuestro futuro normalmente como experiencias Pensamos en nuestro futuro como recuerdos anticipados. Puedes considerar esto como una tiranía del yo-que-recuerda, y se puede pensar que el yo-que-recuerda arrastra al yo-experiencial hacia experiencias que no necesita. "
Daniel Kahneman
