AleHop 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 The mind is built to imbibe sensorial information in order to reproduce a "virtual" model of reality. When reaching adulthood, the process most often reverses, meaning, the adult tries to enforce his/her "virtual" model of reality upon reality itself. Thus, the mind deceives most of us as we believe our conception of reality supersedes the actual thing. Nicely put. I prefer a flawed logic, a CT logic, whatever we can name it, than a scripted logic unless you have written it. If your "virtual" model is flawed you die for it, and you certainly do. You're not supposed to die for other's flawed logic or virtual models unless they are as flawed and "virtual" as yours. Of course we can learn, we can be critical with our own reasoning... but we are supposed to be at least equally critical with other's reasoning, unless it is altruism.

freaky2 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Here is a shorter and simpler "answer". The mind is built to imbibe sensorial information in order to reproduce a "virtual" model of reality. When reaching adulthood, the process most often reverses, meaning, the adult tries to enforce his/her "virtual" model of reality upon reality itself. Thus, the mind deceives most of us as we believe our conception of reality supersedes the actual thing. The result is that heads knocking on walls are common events. Hum, I think I agree with you, so I'll have to remember this for the future ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
