Perception & Opinion

I found this quote on fusionAnomaly, on their “perceptions” page. I think it’s by Robert Anton Wilson.

    As Alfred Korzybski and de Bono (among others) have demonstrated, Opinions result from perceptions, and perceptions reinforce Opinions, which then further control perceptions, in a repeating loop that logic can never penetrate. (Only a shocking new perception, too strong to get edited out by Opinion, can break this self-hypnotic loop.)

I like how straightforward this. I’m gonna find more stuff on this subject like this…
