Magic: The Science of Exploiting Vulnerabilities, Limitations, and Pathologies
Magic.
The methods of magic deserve a great deal of attention: Substitution, diversion, mis-direction, speed, deception, mis-labeling, preparation, point of view and more.
We are susceptible. Our senses and our sense (rational powers) are limited. How can we survive the trained, motivated? Good question.
First answer is that knowledge is not power, it is potential power, and the difference is everything.
Second answer is that, if pilots can learn to read a gauge instead of relying on what "looks and feels" like up, then so can we, and we must.
Two steps. That is all folks. It is no more difficult than that: two steps. Think about it yourself.
You might never stop being deceived, but you might never be swindled, none-the-less. Focus on the pilot and the artificial horizon. Tool and training are everything.
