t take that at all to mean that we're 
constructing reality," he told LiveScience.All in the mindAs members of 
society, people create a form of collective reality. "We are all part 
of a community of minds," Freeman says in the show.For example, money, 
in reality, consists of pieces of paper, yet those papers represent something 
much more valuable. The pieces of paper have the power of life 
and death, Freeman says but they wouldn't be worth anything if people 
didn't believe in their power.Money is fiction, but it's useful fiction.Another 
fiction humans collectively engage in is optimism. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot 
of University College London studies "the optimism bias": people's tendency 
to generally overestimate the likelihood of positive events in their lives 
and underestimate the likelihood of negative ones.In the show, Sharot does 
an experiment in which she puts a man in a brain scanner, 
and asks him to rate the likelihood that negative events, such as 
lung cancer, will happen to him. Then, he is given the true 
likelihood.When the actual risks differ from the man's estimates, his frontal 
lobes light up. But the brain area does a better job of 
reacting to the discrepancy when the reality is more positive than what 
he guessed, Sharot said.This shows how humans are somewhat hardwired to 
be optimistic. That may be because optimism "tends to have a lot 
of positive outcomes," Sharot told LiveScience. Optimistic people tend to 
live longer
pped Palestinian Authority. The talks envisioned by Kerry are to 
last for six to nine months, according to the Palestinians, rather than 
being open-ended, which would allow Abbas to argue he's simply testing Netanyahu's 
intentions. And so far, Abbas has not faced a backlash at home 
as he inches toward negotiations.Abbas has not spoken publicly since Friday, 
when Kerry announced an agreement that "establishes a basis for resuming 
direct final status negotiations" between the two sides. Kerry cautioned 
at the time that "the agreement is still in the process of 
being formalized."On Sunday, Abbas' office tried to clamp down on official 
chatter, saying only two aides, Nabil Abu Rdeneh and Yasser Abed Rabbo, 
are authorized to speak about the diplomatic efforts. Neither was available.However, 
two Palestinian officials and two senior PLO figures   speaking on 
condition of anonymity because they wanted to avoid running afoul of Abbas' 
edict    said a resumption of talks is not a 
done deal. Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are to meet in Washington 
in coming days or weeks, but they'll have to hold more talks 
about the talks, just as Kerry did in six shuttle missions this 
year because gaps remain, the Palestinian officials said.Kerry gave Abbas 
a number of assurances on the terms for the negotiations, but failed 
to secure detailed Israeli commitments, the officials said. This includes 
the issue of the 1967 borders, the scope of a possible slowd
