-Your prefrontal cortex is constantly generating predictions for what might unfold. These predictions are sent to the brain stem, which then prepares your mind-body for whatever is anticipated. 

-The brain adopts this forward-looking stance for good reason: it is far more efficient than approaching every moment with no notion or bias for what might happen next.

-We subjectively prefer when our expectations are exceeded, even if that means more total units of objective distress. It is a theme that will come up repeatedly in this chapter: consciousness is not solely our experience of reality; it is our experience of reality filtered and modulated by our expectations for it.
