Neo Mind Tricks from the eye of Escher

[libertypirate]

As your eyes and mind try to make sense of the image, you forget that it is your forgone conclusions that keep you guessing. They keep you from ever making full sense of the sum of what you are seeing. This is in essence a trick of the mind, and it is exactly the problem with journalism today. It is also how journalism has evolved into a brokerage of thought and fact equated to truth and logic. While journalists still provide information it is under the guise and with the purpose of reinforcing what supports specific interpretations logically and illogically. When all positions are equally reinforced to maintain the appearance of logic the provability that this is an accident is nil. I don't need numbers to prove it all I need is common sense, which is ironically what is being used against our ability to understand reality.

This is about the use regional thinking and it being associated with acute logic via direct un-questionable referencing. It doesn't have to be correct it just must be difficult to question logically from the perspective of multiple regions of thought. If you pay attention to how you look at the picture you might notice that your mind focuses on regions of the drawing at a time. The regions are divided along the expectations (straight lines and common elements) that fool us into thinking what we are seeing (in one region) logically fits into the entire picture. As you look at each region individually they make sense. Even though they seemingly fit into place as we move from one region to another we become lost in the translation between spaces.

The entire problem is misdirected contextual thinking that we as humans consistently fall victim. It is misdirection at its core and it is a systematic pattern that has been tooled to contrive our reality into something that makes us unable to make any sense of it all. People don't communicate with the desired effect to draw together two distinctly different regions of thought and logic, but this image does. This is not the normal behavior of people who need to communicate clearly. It results in the opposite unclear logic, confusion of fact, and the appearance that both positions are equally good and equally bad. This is a system that needs to be exposed as tool of those in power to contrive perspective based on their own chosen logical truths that have nothing to do with reality.

This jumped out at me and I thought I would share

1. I keep expecting to see

CCB's face in there somewhere, complete with horns and that evil grin he's so famous for.

2. I had a fabulous repro of that one

which escaped me in one of my many moves... Escher is one fo my FAVORITES. He ALWAYS forces you to

check your point of reference...

4. Which is exactly what is wrong...

The points of reference skew reality from each perspective (aka Bias).

3. Here is something else I found at that link concerning the DSM

<snip>
Today is June 7, 2005
33 days since congressional request for investigation.

The Downing Street "Memo" is actually a document containing meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002—a full eight months PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003. The Times of London printed the text of this document on Sunday, May 1, 2005, but to date US media coverage has been limited. This site is intended to act as a resource for anyone who wants to understand the facts revealed in this document.
The contents of the memo are shocking. The minutes detail how our government did not believe Iraq was a greater threat than other nations; how intelligence was "fixed" to sell the case for war to the American public; and how the Bush Administration’s public assurances of "war as a last resort" were at odds with their privately stated intentions.

When asked, British officials "did not dispute the document's authenticity." and a senior American official has described it as "absolutely accurate." Yet the Bush administration continues to simultaneously sidestep the issue while attempting to cast doubt on the memo’s authenticity.

Nobody wants to go to war. We trust our leaders to shed blood in our name only when absolutely necessary. But the facts revealed by the Downing Street Memo force us to ask ourselves: Was I misled? Did President Bush tell me the truth when he said he would not take us to war unless absolutely necessary?

More than two years after the start of the Iraq War, Americans are just learning that our government was dead set on invasion, even while it claimed to be pursuing diplomacy. Please join us in demanding that we get to the bottom of this issue.

5. We are getting lost in our own expectations...

We expect our leadership to tell us the truth, while common sense seems to show us they don't.
