A lot of this "settling in" is due to the fact people don't listen; they get comfortable with what they have and go to sleep. I was watching a couple of documentaries yesterday, and these people are STILL pondering the eye in a triangle. The picture used is local in time (first mistake), it is missing the archetype (hello?), and since they don't listen, this hunting expedition will go on forever. As far as I am concerned, people deserve whatever they get. "...men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms; whereas, they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence." Fabre D'Olivet
Rather than STOP and say, 'Woops! I'm headed in the wrong direction,’ we tend to place a premium on projecting a consistent image of ourselves and try to rationalize our initial decision despite increasing evidence suggesting we ought to do the contrary. B M Staw
… many people today don't want honest answers insofar as 'honest’ means 'unpleasant’ or 'disturbing.’ They want a soft answer that turneth away anxiety. — Louis Kronenberger
Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true. — Francis Bacon
