It is best to have no obsessions. Just don’t be contrived. Simply be normal. You impulsively seek elsewhere, Looking to others for your own hands and feet.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 If one's reality comes mostly from reading snake oil diet books, then I can see how this kind of bias from such charlatans would adversely affect them. For me, the best way to overcome bias is to simply read more. The truth about any topic usually withstands all of the spin/lies these charlatans can throw at it.
