Selective perception Selective perception may refer to any number of cognitive biases in psychology related to the way expectations affect perception. For instance, several studies have shown that students who were told they were consuming alcoholic beverages (which in fact were non-alcoholic) perceived themselves as being "drunk", exhibited fewer physiological symptoms of social stress, and drove a simulated car similarly to other subjects who had actually consumed alcohol. The result is somewhat similar to the placebo effect. In one classic study on this subject related to the hostile media effect (which is itself an excellent example of selective perception), viewers watched a filmstrip of a particularly violent Princeton-Dartmouth football game. Princeton viewers reported seeing nearly twice as many rule infractions committed by the Dartmouth team than did Dartmouth viewers. One Dartmouth alumnus did not see any infractions committed by the Dartmouth side and erroneously assumed he had been sent only part of the film, sending word requesting the rest. en.wikipedia.org If you are correct in perceiving Machiavelli in JMH's communications, you might use his posts as your own special "Early Indicator". When he says buy...SELL. When he says sell...BUY. Let me know how it's working for you. Rascal@$$$$$.com PS. If you are playing Poker and you don't know who the sucker is in the game....then...It's you! Are you trying to make a sucker out of me? I think you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But, that's my selective perception at work. Member 9112658
