So, we think we're living in reality whenever we go by intuition and trust our perceptions, eh ? Check this out …
This Video Illusion Will Destroy Your Brain
Plait goes on to make the point:
Quote:
We humans are convinced that we see the world as it really is, but that’s complete rubbish. We don’t. We see things filtered not just through our fallible senses, but also then interpreted by our ridiculously pliable minds.
The Universe is not trying to fool us. It doesn’t need to; we do an astonishingly good job of that ourselves. But as long as you’re aware of it you can see through the illusion, and, if you’re sufficiently willing to, you might see everything a bit more clearly.

Ok .. so I'm convinced ... but the message (for me), is to take on everything science makes available, in order to not be drawn into believing the illusion.
For me, excluding any area of legitimate science, only results in not being able to see through some of the illusions.
Interesting snippet, eh ?
