‘Scuse me, America…wtf happened?

This is why I encourage people to acquire knowledge of psychology, as it gives insight into how our minds function.

Eyes do not "see". All they do is relay optic data to the mind, which assembles it into images in accordance with our experiences, emotions, beliefs, preconceptions, etc.

Yeah . . . but for the love of all that is holy and sacred, avoid the the sources that Piggy used for his journey and pontifications regarding psychological insight.

"Optic data to the mind" . . . cognitive and confirmation biases' kissing cousin.
