If distortions are the best we can muster lets hope they fit the task at hand, now what that is and where in environment and identity seems very defining no?

    I do not think that we lie to our self so much as that we only
    see/hear what we want to see/hear. Also we tend to say what we
    think the other persons wants to hear or say things to hurt other
    people.

        I am more interested in why we lie to ourselves, suppress

        survival, I suppose, but much of our potential is engineered
        by family
        and culture in order to achieve some sort of control and
        order. Even
        rebels are often little more than a reaction. Pretense and
        etiquette
        are often the same thing.//I must have "lost" my thought re "big
        data"/"Big Daddy? as an organizer of human knowledge versus the
        present scatterings and specialties.// Yes- I agree most have
        a gut
        reaction- but so do other life forms- it's a survival
        mechanism. But
        it can be distorted.
