There is no need to take personal precautions about chronic dangers, if you are in a first world "free" country. This is why people do not dig to find out how dangerous exposure to even just a little nuclear fallout is, and why they are so ready to believe the "banana" and "airplane" myths. |

How awful. In my area people wear all 3 on there sleeve pretty much, like proud drones of the ptb, oh and if you dont ehibit these characteristics there's a good chance you get looked at like you are growing tentacles, ridiculed or just hated. /rant |

Whatever people believe they will seek evidence to support their beliefs and reinforce what they believe. Seems to be how our brains are wired, so if you brainwash a child, he will spend his life defending those beliefs. "You can bend it and twist it... You can misuse and abuse it... But even God cannot change the Truth.” Michael Levy |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16062670 France 07/05/2012 01:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what is responsible for most cognitive bias: People mistake the fact that they feel for a true experience of "truth" that shape their perception, thinking that feeling is experiencing reality as it is (from an absolutist perspective). The sole fact of perceiving our environment is relative and yet some dumb-asses think they know for sure, absolutely when they have no idea of how relative their own perception of reality is. Here i'm not talking about an anthropocentered perception of the reality common to the specie, i'm talking about personal bullshit who conduct people to say "I" and think they talk for the world when they're not even smart enough to understand that by saying "I" they are positioning themselves and choose to perceive only one part of the whole reality intelligible to them. How can you talk for the world and think your point of view is a fact when your perception of you own world is ABSOLUTELY RELATIVE |

mael User ID: 18734385 Japan 07/05/2012 02:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The most significant delusion is people believing their elected representatives in government are there on our behalf and are watching out for our best interests- -while the actual truth is all of the candidates are working for the benefit of shareholders and banksters and their job is to allow those parasites to feed on us (their host) indefinitely. * Or that's one of the top delusions anyway. The folks are deluded because of the manipulated media. |
