That's fine, until you hit your own blind spots. Then you say "Oh my
God, that's what so-and-so's" been saying to me all along! If I'd only
listened."

Chuck re: Intrapsychic Theorems
First of all thanks for responding.
Secondly, these are theorems, it's perfectly fine to disagree.

Granted that there may be different levels of perception involved, do
you not think that at some subconscious level, maybe even a primitive
biological level there is a little aversion taking place in your
attitude towards brocolli that equates with (a small) fear? 

Also, granting that you may indeed like the architecture of roller
coasters, isn't the reason why you are afraid of them, whatever it may
be, something you dislike?

It may just be a matter of degree, but I think both attitudes can
coexist, or do you disagree?
