Degrees of Freedom, the book

On a whim, I searched for "Degrees of Freedom" on Amazon, since I thought it'd make a great title for a book. The first result is a history of slavery, and the second result... well... it's a little mindblowing. A quote:

...we attempt to assure ourselves of a secure and predictable passage through life by spending a huge amount of time dividing up and classifying our surroundings...

...particular kinds of behavior and interpretation can often be reinforced into persistent attitudes. We tend to become domineering or subservient, callous or sensitive, sceptical or guillible, cynical or admiring, conservative or radical - depending on the interaction between our experiences and genetic makeup. As this reinforcement occurs, so our ability to change attitude in response to new experiences progressively declines and we may become fixed in our ways.
To acknowledge uncertainty, and to recognize its origins, is scientific strength, not weakness; to insist on certainty is arrogance, not strength...

Hmmmff! A fellow Buddhist, surely! And with a wonderful idea for a book title! Must be a kindred soul. I'm putting this in my shopping cart posthaste.
