The making of reality - Spxbot Blog

Lately, I came across a weird and disruptive idea: some scientists that study the human mind have determined that we do not see what "enters" into our eyes, but instead we "project" through our eyes what our brain is expecting to see. Some scientists call this holographic reality and this process can easily explain some difficult-to-be-accepted aspects of our common experience, as we often do not see something unexpected, or, on the opposite, see just the details we already know (in a person, in a picture, in a text or in an event). No need to say that if you apply this process to the trading and investing activity it is somehow explosive: yes, we all project our knowledge of the markets into our expectations and then we fund on our opinions to trigger decisions. And we all make mistakes, as our decisions are what we want to see in the market, what our minds project on the reality and we think that this is reality. Delusion is just behind the corner.
