This is how it seems to you, because you tend to take words for the reality you imagine that they are pointing at. Not everybody buys ideology, but it is true that there is always the opportunuity to observe one´s own reactions. This opportunuity is always there, in any moment, so even on this site. Which isn´t the potential of this site but the potential of attention and intelligence, which doesn´t depend on the circumstances.
