Interesting Reading

Why humans regularly appear to be a dumb as fenceposts -- because they only trust "Scientists" who agree with them.

I have frequently failed to recognize the absolute power that Cultural Cognition has over ones interaction with the world. I have friends and even relatives who are so totally dependent on their assumptions about the world that they literally cease functioning when those assumptions are challenged.

If you are not actively, aggressively engaged in expanding your social, cultural, and spiritual horizons and challenge your own Cultural Cognition, you will become a victim of your own echo-chamber where your own Cultural Cognition becomes the only lens through which to view the world and that is a sad dark place.
