Daily Comment

I mentioned to my drummer today that I did not feel making judgment on sensory information was very helpful. 

Then I had to explain what I meant, and I started with making judgments; how I and most people I have ever met do it, and do it badly, because we don't realize the role our unconscious and subconscious thoughts and habits play in decisions.

I then told him our sensory input is not direct, but rather it is interpreted by our minds, and nobody knows exactly how that process works.

It is the interpretive part that is the hangup. Because we think we know the factors that go into interpreting, so we think we form an objective (real) 'picture' of things.

Hah!

There is zero evidence of that, and a lot of evidence demonstrating how untrue that idea is.

Poor John. Now he has to live with a little cognitive dissonance for awhile.

Diet Comment

Yesterday''s cheats off plan eating (ice cream, cereal, yogurt, sugar) showed up today. Not surprising. Unfortunately for my weight, today is an all dining out day, and while the food is good, even healthy, it is not on-plan. Also, the lighting in the restaurants was too bad for pictures. But it was delicious.
