RE: We only see what our brain wants to see
There's a difference between the brain omitting information or adding information due to visual limitations or illusions; and the perception of our inner vision. One can be shown the limitations over and over again of the visual device known as the eye and how it can fall for visual illusions, but the mind can learn from it's mistakes, such as learning about visual illusions in order not to be fooled by them. The quality of judgment can increase by developing cognitive faculties.
Yep, totally agree, thanks for the adding. Our brain can be educated to react when seeing and to apply the learned behavior instead of the default one. The question would be: what is the effort to educate in specific cases and if it pays off or not. And how can we establish this.
