  • It’s just one of those examples that helps us realize how extremely easy it is to misinterpret information without the appropriate context, yet we consume endless context-less content and all the time our brains assume we know the meaning and assigns some kind of judgement on the information or person, but without that appropriate context we really have no idea whatsoever, but we’re constantly building a worldview based on what we’re reading and seeing even though we really aren’t getting it right at all.
