It is fairly easy to recognize that there is a disconnect between the amount of information that are observable to an individual and the brain processing capacity of the individual. As a result, part of the processing capability of the brain is allocated to a filtering algorithm, aiming at omitting part of the observed information, compressing information using the bias from the brain memory, and condensing hard information for the thinking side of the brain, and soft information for the feeling side of the brain.
This filtering algorithm is essential. Without it, our brain suffers from information overload, and nothing would ever get done. However, this same filtering algorithm also works against us. It makes us pick and choose what we want to see or feel, so as to create a unstable positive feedback system. It also makes us insensitive to other observables.
So much of our own life, and the causality of it, is changed by our filtering algorithm. Understanding our own filter and the filters of others are very important.
