<p style="font-size:xx-small;">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
France and Japan.According to The Hill, Democratic National Committee
National Finance Chairwoman Jane Stetson, who raised $2.43 million for Obama,
is in line for the coveted Paris post, which would knock out
Vogue editor-in-chief Anne Wintour, who raised $2.68 million and purportedly
wanted either the London or Paris diplomatic positions.Beyond Wintour, the
most talked about potential ambassadorship is Caroline Kennedy to Japan.Kennedy,
daughter of President Kennedy, certainly has the political pedigree and
ranks among the presidents biggest fundraisers and political supporters.
However, critics argue that her lack of experience in elected office makes
her a risky choice as Japan remains a crucial ally in trying
to maintain stability in the Korean Peninsula.Still, Dartmouth government
professor Jennifer Lind argues Kennedys stature give her extraordinary access
to the president and that her fathers unconventional decision in the
1960s to appoint Harvard professor Edwin O. Reischauer to the Tokyo post
helped knit two countries once dismissed as impossible allies.The Foreign
Service union, while not directly criticizing Kennedy or Obama, told FoxNews.com
this spring that it does not support such appointments and that the
rate of political appointees to ambassadorships for Japan and major European
countries is as high as 85 percent.The sale of ambassadorships and rewards
for political support basically suggests we really dont value diplom
