" When we return to the ordinary world of social interactions after such shocks as the cock-eyed room, LSD or meditation, we observe that the same processes are going on — people are making bets about which model fits best at a given time — but they are not aware of making bets. They are — it must be repeated — hypnotized by their models. If the models do not fit very well, they do not revise them but grow angry at the world — at experience — for being recalcitrant. Most typically, they find somebody to blame, as Nietzsche noted again and again. "
