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
ast thousands of devotees in 
an open-topped vehicle, a plan that would put the thousands of police 
and soldiers dispatched to protect the pope on high alert and require 
more plainclothes security.Brazil's justice and defense ministers, along 
with a top army commander, urged the pope to use an armored 
popemobile instead, but the Vatican has responded that Francis likes to 
jump in and out of his vehicle to greet the faithful, which 
wouldn't be possible in the more protected vehicle."The bulletproofing would 
lessen our worries, it'd be better if he had it," said Gen. 
Jose Abreu, the top officer overseeing the military's role in the security 
scheme. "It's a personal choice and we'll respect it, but it's not 
remotely pleasant for security forces."On the top of everyone's minds are 
the massive and sometimes violent anti-government protests that swept this 
continent-sized country last month. They've continued, albeit with fewer 
people, less than a week before Francis' arrival Monday.Last week, a small 
protest in Leblon, one of Rio's poshest neighborhoods, erupted into looting 
and destruction, with demonstrators smashing storefronts, defacing street 
signs and setting piles of garbage on fire.A handful of protests are 
planned. If violence breaks out near the pope, the world may once 
again see images of demonstrators enveloped by clouds of tear gas, stun 
grenades ricocheting off stately buildings and rubber bullets whizzing through 
the air.Jose
