Interesting article....do you infer or rationalize the beliefs that you hold? Are you capable of letting go of them when the evidence no longer supports them?

I'd tell you that I infer, but I'd just be rationalizing. ;-)
That article reminds me of the intro to my old Latin textbook, which explained that we see the world through the lens of language that we speak. It's true, and it's a fascinating concept.
