I too have often marvelled and wondered how two individuals, confronted with the same information, living in the same space and time consistently come to diametrically opposed views. Both cannot be right, but both stubbornly cling to and earnestly believe their own reality. Many times the issues are complex and varied. Most of us latch onto the few facts that support our already pre-conceived notions and dismiss or undervalue those which don't fit in. The left right issue may well be genetic as you suggest.

The ability to adjust and accept as inevitable things which we perceive wrong is good for our leaders because in the end, might makes right. And in time, we simply re-set or re-adjust our thinking to accept whatever we perceive the new reality to be.

Except for certain stubborn ones on this thread. gg
