The document discusses the importance of cognitive perception and how it affects our interpretation of reality, especially in social and political contexts. It emphasizes that our understanding is shaped by our existing knowledge schemas, which can lead us to see what we want to see. The key takeaway is to maintain an open mind when analyzing news stories and social situations, considering multiple perspectives.

9. Brief Explanation
Optical illusions are explained from different perspectives, including the laws of perception.
However, in our case, we will focus on the cognitive aspect.
If you are told to see a landscape, you will see a landscape. If you are told there is a baby,
you will see a baby. Perhaps at first, it may be difficult for you to see the perspective you did
not see initially, but you will get it! If perceptual reality can be ambiguous...
imagine social and political reality! That is why sometimes we see what we "want to see" or
"want to hear" in complex social situations. We interpret reality based on our previous
knowledge schemas, on what we believe, on what seems most plausible to us.

10. It's important that, just as we keep an open mind to see a duck or a rabbit, a goblet or
two faces, hear "Green Needle" or "Brainstorm", we have it to analyze the different
perspectives of a news story, a social situation, a political decision.
