A few years ago, Flickr promised a terabyte of image storage for life, and for a shutterbug like me, that was an offer too good to refuse. When I became Regional Director for FIRST in Central FL, I opened a second account, to archive FIRST in Florida photos from tournaments and outreach events.
Then came the news, recently, that Flickr was ending the bonanza of free storage, limiting free accounts to 1000 images. I have nearly 1000 images in a single individual album!
I’m well aware that we have a very human tendency to think we’re being open minded when we’re mostly supporting our own existing world views. Buster Bensen did a great piece on the issue of cognitive bias over on Better Humans recently and even provided a handy “cheat sheet” for improved self-awareness.
But even with my bias chart at hand to help 
me approach the current political landscape with a truly open mind, I don’t see any other way to view the current Republican candidate as anything but an immature, manipulative, narcissistic bully unfit to shine the shoes of any American, let alone function as the leader of our democratic republic.
Be wary of the roles you play and the acts you put on, because you tend to fulfill the labels you accept. Above all, remember the more harm you cause, the more hate you feel. The more kindness you express, the more you come to love those you help. – David McRaney, author of You are Now Less Dumb
“Naive Realism” is a theory of knowledge that holds that we see the world as it 
actually is and our impression of it is an objective, accurate representation of “reality”. Or put another way, it is “the conviction that one’s own views are objective and unbiased, whereas the other’s views are biased by ideology, self-interest and irrationality. ” (Naive Realism as a Barrier in Conflict Resolution) It’s also a great obstacle to self-awareness, civility and social justice.
