[Ron] Objective reality is ever changing and mostly impossible to fully percieve much less retain and still function. I have come to the conclusion that our awareness is limited just as much by our preconceptions as it is by our ability to perceive phenomena.
[Case] Actually this ability to form conceptions that allow us to filter out what is irrelevant seems to me to be one of our superpowers. It does not limit our awareness so much as let us focus on higher probabilities by ignoring all the remote possibilities. I see this a lot when introducing some people to the alien world of computers. I notice them pointing at things that are obviously irrelevant, ads and silly menu items, pictures and links to pop-up websites. Teaching them how to navigate in the strange new world is as much a matter of teaching them what to ignore as what to attend to. [Ron] It most certainly is a super power, I did not mean "limit" as "inhibit" but as what we are able to percieve. Fact is we do it and our perception is shaped by it.
