Perhaps you should increase your medication for a while...

The point in all of this is that everyone gets to make his or her own determination based on the evidence at hand.
Am I who I say I am?
Am I a liar?
Am I crazy?
Choose whatever you will – there is no enigma here, rather a choice to be made.
My point, if I were to have one, is that your choice will be made via (or by way of) your ‘predisposition’ to this subject, or your observation of my participation in it, and that you will pull (or key into) those facts (and only those facts) necessary to assemble a conclusion based upon your predisposition in this matter.
So that, by way of your perspective (predisposition) of a matter, your natural inclination is to assemble only those facts, only that information, necessary to help you to adhere to conclusions you were already predisposed to make (based on your underlying belief system - or view of the world).
You see, by so doing, you are simply going about to reinforce your underlying belief system, your underlying view of the world - your underlying 'perspective', whatever that may be.
Can you see what I am saying? Think about this.
You think that you are starting with a clean slate each time, but you are not - you are already biased toward conclusions based on your perspective.
You think you have a choice in the matter, but you don't - your perspective, your predisposition, determines what information, what facts you will use to assemble your conclusions.
You are continually, and at all times, limited by your perspective - so that whether or not you are even aware that you have one (i.e., a perspective), is moot.
