Key Research<br />

But a minute took longer for men and women when<br />

surrounded by red light, as compared to blue light.<br />

This effect is likely to be linked to arousal since it is<br />

well-known that red and blue create different states of<br />

arousal in men and women alike.<br />

Deluded Species?<br />

So we all see the world differently. Indeed, we have no<br />

choice about this because our experiences of the world<br />

are necessarily different.<br />

None of us sees the world as it is.<br />

In this sense we are all delusional, what each of us sees<br />

is a meaning derived from our shared and individual<br />

histories.<br />

This awareness, possibly more than anything else,<br />

provides an irrefutable argument for celebrating<br />

diversity, rather than fear in conformity.<br />

Which is liberating, since knowing this gives you the<br />

freedom (and responsibility) to take ownership of your<br />

future perceptions of yourself and others.<br />
