Mason reading + a link to an awesome read

The John Mason reading was on noticing things. Or rather, I guess being more aware of things that otherwise wouldn’t warrant our awareness. It echoed some Buddhist sentiments on mindfulness and awareness for me. Interestingly, once I made that connection in my mind I couldn’t help but read the Mason reading through a Buddhist framework and the basic understanding of its teachings that I have.

Anyway, it got me thinking about out awareness of cognitive processes and I want to share this article on certain cognitive biases we all have that go largely unnoticed. It’s an interesting bit of light reading. My favourite is the “Current-Moment” bias which explains bad food choices at the supermarket.

Here it isĀ 

Enjoy =)
