As a cognitive psychologist I found this video very funny and interesting. Dan Dennett, a philosopher and a cognitive scientist, puts our Mind & Conscious on the spot light, and by experimenting with some clever "mind tricks", he shows us that what we see, is just what our mind wants to see.

Some questions arise from the lecture:

• Does the mind have a will of its own?
• Why do we see things in a certain way and not the other?

The lecture doesn't fully answer all of that, but it gives you a lot to think when you observe the world, and all the information out there that our mind "decide to see" and more interesting what it ignores.

My 2 cents:

The world we see out there, is the world "we" decided we want to see, but we decide to see only part of it, not for no reason.

The world is too complex for our brain to understand, too much information to process at once, this is why our mind filter things and interfere with the way we "see". I guess that in time, we will be able to process more and more information, to really experience the world and its wonders.

But for now, lets just keep an open mind.
