[quote=Arraya]Timothy Leary said we all have our own, “Reality Tunnel”, meaning everybody has a subconscious set of mental “filters” formed from their beliefs and experiences and every individual interprets this same world differently. It seems some have stronger mental “filters” than others.
Speaking of neurocognitive sciences – check out this talk on “Mirror Neurons”, a discovery from the 90s. I bet they’re a causal mechanism in financial bubbles.

Good post, Arraya. Agree that people can be presented with the very same facts, but perceive those facts differently, based on thier personal knowledge and experiences.

I change my mind often. I was a socialist in college then became a libertarian (nice swing, huh?) and over the last 10 years have drifted back toward the middle. I’m more of a pragmatist now. But I’ll always be a social liberal no matter the evidence presented to the contrary. So I’m stuck on that one.
