While talking about the story teller we learned that it has a strong tendency to make things complete and coherent; this applies to the blind spot in our eyes. It compensates for missing areas in our mind without us even being aware. This seems to beg the assumption that we can go through our lives being completely fooled by aspects around us. We have very different perceptions from someone standing mere feet away. This aspect of our brains causes a significant amount of variation among us, which ties into our discussion of earlier in the year when we were discussing how many brains it is possible to have.  This adds another layer to that already intricate web of information.

This is assuming that the excuses our brains come up with can differ from person to person, like the man looking at the pictures on the wall in the class example. That being said, does our brain fabricate different stories depending on our personality or tastes? Would I use a different excuse for walking around the table then the man in the experiment? I feel like it would reflect our personalities rather than having a normal response, which would be the reason for variations. Are there other possible differences between the story teller in two people?
