The chapter made me wonder what is the role of ego in all of the construction and reconstruction of mind patterns. The tendency of the brain to retrieve information that is similar to what has been stored before explains things like confirmation bias. But why is it so hard to accept that our previous pattern (e.g. opinion) is not useful or trustworthy anymore? Why is it hard to accept how limited our brain system can be? Perhaps it would be interesting to expand the discussion to the limitations of our personality in itself.
