Intelligence - Your thinking is not the reality
When we observe reality,l we filter the reality and make out our own "drawing" of this reality. This drawing isn't the reality. However, people often confuse their thinking and the reality it is based upon.
Rene Magritte's famous painting on which a pipe is painted, along with the text "This is not a pipe." The reaction off Magritte when someone questioned hime on this? "I told the truth. The pipe is a drawing. And a drawing of a pipe is not the real thing. Indeed, try smoking using the pipe on this painting ...."
"Everything is said by someone. Every reflexion brings forth a world." and "What we say - unless we are lying - reflects what we live, not what happens from the perspective of the independent observer."
That's why at the same time, we may find that different "thinking" describing the same reality are in existence at the same time. None of these maps equate to the reality. The usefulness of a map depends upon the context you want to use it in.
However, as you peel away the illusion (those false assumption), you will get closer to the reality as uncolored as possible. That's why what a scientist consider a "rational explanation" today may be proved invalid tomorrow.
As thinking may be wrong. It is easier to change your preception of the world than it is to change the world itself. Hence our need to learn to apply the following saying: "To change the world, start with yourself." Also, we find that human map of reality are in constant evolution. People DO change their minds. When two people communicate, they cannot help but influence the other party in the discussion in some way.
