Communication experts have estimated that a person receives ten thousand
sensory impressions (exteroceptive and proprioceptive) per second.
Obviously, then, a drastic selection process is necessary to prevent the
higher brain centers from being swamped by irrelevant information. But
the decision about what is essential and what is irrelevant apparently
varies from individual to individual and seems to be determined by
criteria which are largely outside individual awareness. In all
probability, reality is what we make it or, in Hamlet's words, "...there
is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." We can only
speculate that at the root of these punctuation conflicts there lies the
firmly established and usually unquestioned conviction that there is
only one reality, the world as I see it, and that any view that differs
from mine must be due to the other's irrationality or ill will.
