Human beings have something that we might think of as a "psychological immune system," a system of cognitive processes, largely nonconscious cognitive processes, that help them change their views of the world, so that they can feel better about the worlds in which they find themselves.
Et system af kognitive processer, overvejende ikke-bevidste kognitive processer, der hjælper dem med at ændre deres synspunkter om verden, så de kan føle sig bedre tilpas i den verden, de befinder sig i. Ligesom Sir Thomas har du denne maskine. I modsætning til Sir Thomas, synes du ikke at vide det.
