We make our own reality

Posted on 31. Jan, 2010 by in TED, video

More time than not, we hear or see what we expect to. We are gifted with a natural ability to find patterns in sights and sounds. Most of us have found shapes in clouds, and sometimes we find shapes in other things. This posting and video from the 2006 TED conference Dr. Michael Shermer talks about how we shape our own reality, and I discuss how sometimes we dismiss a person’s perspective of reality based entirely on a medical diagnosis.
