Did your insight occur to you before you read the post -- or after actually reading it? Hoping its the latter, perhaps you can provide some examples of specific cognitive biases and logical fallacies that that you have found in your own personal experience that have helped you to validate your perceptions and the interpretations of your subjective experiences -- and thus allowing you to deal even more effectively with the reality of Here And Now.
I have found just the opposite in my life. I find cognitive biases and logical fallacies to dim and distort what IS. By becoming aware of the existence and structure of cognitive biases and logical fallacies I find I appreicate and live what IS more fully, right NOW. And I want to thank you for your writings. They are a virtual paradise of examples of cognitive biases and logical fallacies -- a playground to sharpen anybody's wits. That such keep you grounded in what IS, right now -- well only attests to the glory of creation -- that opposite practices can result in the same fruit. --- In [email protected], TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], new_morning_blank_slate > <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > We all make them.
