We needn't even go that far. Our perceptions of the external world at this very moment are colored by thoughts , beliefs, and schemas we're mostly unconscious of. The veracity of our memories is a far more complicated subject entirely

"I am of the opinion that the vast majority of legitimate male grievance against society would be better addressed by bringing to heel the corporations, the wealthy..."
