So if it s your internal consumer who s in charge of investing your life energies into some picture of the truth, then that consumer had better pay the same close attention to this internal process of persuasion as to an external one. You are fortunate if you encounter a peddler who is interested in getting you to agree with a statement by showing you that it is true. Peddlers who just want to get you to agree, regardless of the truth, we refer to as political, since power and control are their main concerns. To infer is to draw a conclusion from a set of facts. Can never be proven.
Beliefs come to be seen as facts through folk wisdom, propaganda, myths, superstitions.
We can never remove the lens through which we see the world, but we can become aware that the lens exists. Objective tone is impartial, unbiased, unslanted. Stereotypes may be true of some individuals, but they shut out new information that conflicts with old, embedded beliefs.
