People Are Drastically Overconfident About Their Judgments

The Brain And The Eye May Have A Contractual Relationship In Which The Brain Has Agreed To Believe What The Eye Sees, But In Return The Eye Has Agreed To Look For What The Brain Wants.

We All Have Direct Experience With Things That Do Or Don't Make Us Happy, We All Have Friends, Therapists, Cabdrivers, And Talk-show Hosts Who Tell Us About Things That Will Or Won't Make Us Happy, And Yet, Despite All This Practice And All This Coaching, Our Search For Happiness Often Culminates In A Stinky Mess. We Expect The Next Car, The Next House, Or The Next Promotion To Make Us Happy Even Though The Last Ones Didn't And Even Though Others Keep Telling Us That The Next Ones Won't.

Impact Is Rewarding. Mattering Makes Us Happy.

Our Brain Accepts What The Eyes See And Our Eye Looks For Whatever Our Brain Wants.

Hateful, Blasphemous, Prejudiced, Vulgar, Rude, Or Ignorant Remarks Are The Music Of A Free Society, And The Relentless Patter Of Idiots Is How We Know We're In One. When All The Words In Our Public Conversation Are Fair, Good, And True, It's Time To Make A Run For The Fence.
