Whatever

Sometimes one part of us -- say our inherited physiology -- wants sexual gratification, and wants it now. Another part of us -- say our social upbringing -- wants respect, safety, virtue, affection, or whatever. If we were completely determined, we would simply go with the stronger force, and life would be easy. Instead, we have the ability to weigh the forces. Sometimes this is aless-than-fully conscious process. We can weigh two forces emotionally, in terms of the relative anxiety and eagerness. But we can step back a bit and add certain rational considerations, and consider things like the meaning of sin, the odds of getting caught, or whether the urge will go away if you ignore it. Worrying about things this way may be unpleasant, but it is a sign of our freedom to choose! Onlypeople deal in possibilities as well as realities! Even when alternatives seem totally absent, some freedom remains. You at very least have a choice of the attitude you will take towards your suffering, hard though it may be.
Because placebos are dependent upon perception and expectation, various factors which change the perception can increase the magnitude of the placebo response.

Whichconcept did not come to mind?-- Those rejected, because we don’t want to believe them

Things that are thoroughly learned are unconscious.

There are ways of thinking and perceiving that are so thoroughly learned we tend not to be conscious of them: attitudes, mind-sets, norms, prejudices, defences, and so on.
Consensus reality refers to the agreed-upon concepts of reality which people in theworld, or a culture or group, believe are real (or treat as real), usually based upon their common experiences as they believe them to be; anyone who does not agree with these is sometimes stated to be "in effect... living in a different world.

What is it, exactly, to know something? Why, if at all, should we value knowledge? Could it ever be reasonable to hold a belief in the absence ofevidence that it is true, or--even more radically--in the face of evidence which suggests that it is false? Can we have genuine knowledge of the future, or of the distant past, or (more generally) of those parts of reality which no human being is in a position to observe? (And if so, how exactly do we manage to do that?) How should we respond to skeptical arguments that challenge our ability toarrive at knowledge of the ‘external’ world, i.e., the world beyond our own mental states. What should we make of the fact that many of our moral views are not shared (and indeed, are explicitly rejected) by others who cannot simply be dismissed as cranks? Could it ever be reasonable to believe that a miracle occurred on the basis of someone else’s testimony?
