We forget to be in touch with reality a lot of the time when it comes to remembering, attention, perception, reasoning, and making up stories.
To be more specific, our senses, memories, and ways of thinking are always combining what is true with what is comfortable for us psychologically.
Because of this, we often see more benefits in the options we already chose, and when we need to make a choice, we often ask other people what choices they think are good.
Mind now hides (or republishes) bad things that happened in the past instead of processing new ones.
Taking note. When the brain gets new information, it uses close pieces of information to fill in the blanks. If we don't have what we need or don't know what to do, the first thing we will do is use what we already have to make do. T
he worst part is that we don't know how it's set up.
"Blind spot" is the term for this physical disease. The flaw isn't a problem because it's not in the line of sight. Eye cells don't exist where the optic nerve leaves the retina.
The visual cortex in both hemispheres of the brain receives an image from this area that includes information from surrounding retinal regions.
Flower wallpaper, for example, will fill in the blanks with information from the flowers around the blind spot. Bad things can happen, though, if you're driving and a bicycle comes up behind you.
Everything is pretty much obvious when there is a blind spot. Information from the second eye and body movement fill in the blanks in the view of the world.
Moving around changes the picture to fill in parts that have recently disappeared. Most of the time, this is enough. It's more shocking that the brain thinks everything is okay than that some knowledge is lost in a blind area.
People with some types of agnosia find it more sad to be able to lie to themselves. There is no fog or darkness where a person used to see when they lose all of their sight. There are no areas on the globe.
Besides that, there's no proof that there was a loss. At its core, the problem is that our minds are always trying to calm us down.
What is missing may be much more important than what is there, but our minds tend to focus on what is there and ignore what is missing.
My dad had to deal with this when I was a little kid because some people's minds are built differently than others, especially those who are interested in science. I pointed to the lost dogs and said, "Look, dogs live on the street all the time." "You don't see the dead."
