      a great metaphor, that helps people understand how the unconscious mind works
  • Freud's unconscious (a hot, claustrophobic place full of repressed memories and inappropriate sexual fantasies about one's parents)

  • stitches together data on colour, shape, movement and perspective to create the sight enjoyed by the conscious part of the mind.
  • almost every piece of information they come across is a survival mechanism that evolved to aid quick decision making
  • ie behind the tendency for human beings to group people into races, genders, creeds and the like, and then to apply certain characteristics—unjustifiably—to every member of that group.
