Bingo.
You are expecting to much intelligence from people....
The FACT is.... there are some really really dumb people on this planet. Even worse is that there are thousands of people who actually lack certain
perception abilities.
Everything you see with your eyes is actually a mentally generated image. You are not actually looking at the external world or the universe, you are
looking at what your mind has created from what it has sensed.
Here is an example I gave on ATS before... Think of a man painting a picture of random scenery. He looks at the scenery, then paints on a canvas of
what he sees. The man represents your eyes, and your mind. The canvas represents everything you think you see with your eyes. The scenery is the
universe, and external world.
YOU, your mind, never actually sees the external world, or universe... NEVER. All you ever see is the canvas that was created with your eyes and
mind.
Everyones mind is different, so their canvas shows something different. Their mind paints something different. Eyes are different too, so the mind
doesn't always sense what other minds do, so minds paint differently because of that as well.
Some people, their minds are not capable of painting certain aspects of the external world.
Some minds are so over active, over imaginative, creative, or even delusional, or lacking, that their minds will paint a more complicated picture on
the canvas than what is actually there. The opposite is true too, they will paint less than what is there.
Some minds are super accurate, and detailed, and will paint everything, and miss nothing on the canvas. The canvas will be a masterpiece, and
everything in the world will look beautiful to them.
Know what I mean?
