I'll add a penny or two: The human brain (as well as, I think, the brains of all organisms) is hard-wired for survival over understanding, therefore the false premise of understanding that allows for the ability to go to the next moment and process correctly in our habitat is sought after by evolution over real comprehension of the Universe. The human being would stumble around blindly if their brain only related the images from the eyes "as is." Everything would become random, and meaningless. That's why humans don't see the world as it really is, but they see the world their brain makes for them, and that, i think, is the limitation the mind sets in favor of survival. It's necessary that you see only what your brain can relate to, as opposed to seeing everything, but being unable to relate to any of it. |

Thats true the human mind does try to fit everything into patterns, and it is hard-wired for survival. It would be a mistake to say you can't overcome that however. Many people live day to day on auto pilot, not thinking and your probably right that they may not see things for what they really are. If however, you are actively thinking, you will see things for what they really are. |

DoomedOne's comment reminded me of Sankara's Snake. Sankara was India's foremost scholastic Saint and the founder of Vedanta Philosophy... the highest and most coherent expression of Spiritualist Philosophy the world had yet or has ever heard. True even today, as even the Modern Vedantists are hardly standing still but rush forward to make sure nobody gets ahead of them. |

Some very good points brought up guys! |

don't be a dick leo. It's scientifically proven that the human brain has a greater potential than we can conceivably reach. Just look up any of the research being done on autistic savants. And as an intelligent person myself [/narcissism] I can tell you without a doubt that most people are indeed idiots. |

100% of the people I meet are idiots. If you are the one guy in the world who isn't an idiot, put this in your sig line.
Do you mean to say that there are people that don't view misunderstandings as pieces to the puzzle of the universe? |

1. The entire population was not annihilated. Enrique, an arawok hero, defended the remains of the Hispanola natives against Spanierds and eventually the Spanierds were forced to sue for terms favorable to the Arawoks. IU forgot the numbers, but there proportions of the arawoks killed means they were practically annihilated, still many survived. |

I too find this absurd. You saw that in "What The Bleep Do we Know", right? |
|
And therefore we should all be blind, since we can never see anything we've never seen before. Yes, it was mentioned in that "What the Bleep Do We Know?" film, which I have not seen but have heard a lot (mostly negative) about. |

This is a stupid argument and I'm, not playing anymore, the point of this topic is psychological blockades. It honestly doesn't matter what evidence I pull up, you can choose to believe whatever you want. |

I'm not being a jerk, it's just easy to play the skeptic in an argument. All you have to say is, "That evidence isn't good enough, this is reidiculous, that is illogical" meanwhile I've been racking my brain with all these plausible explanations as to how that story could have survived and other reasonable evidence to prove the concept exists besides that arawok anecdote. I figure I've done my part, I've given you plausibility for how that story could have survived and I've given you a little bit of evidence for how the brain might actually work that way. |
