Dallas, Texas--Fred Spagnoletti, who after retiring as President of an international aerospace company, began studying the mind and memory processes of modern humans 12 years ago says, “What we remember determines what we believe, and therein lies the heart of a tremendous problem. Since what we remember doesn’t occur voluntarily, there is no way to know what things we forget or why we remember those particular things that we do remember.”

In addition to not occurring voluntarily, what we remember occurs by default. That is, what we remember is what remains after we forget (discard from our mind and memory) the information our brain elects to discard. In fact, our brain discards over 99.9 percent of the information that enters our memory. The discard of most information entering our memory came about as part of the grand design of modern humans. It is what gave our brain the capacity needed to retain and assimilate more important new information (which resulted in our exceptional intelligence but at a high price).” says Spagnoletti

"One of the biggest problems occurs because people tend to think that “what they believe” is based on results derived from good information that they properly considered. However, because of the way most accurate information in opposition to a person's beliefs is subconsciously discarded by the human brain before it has a chance to be assimilated, our beliefs become slanted due to severe and continuously growing imbalances in our knowledge base. Then, based on our beliefs, we become predisposed to making incorrect decisions. It happens to everyone including the top leadership of all countries in the world. Thus, in our modern, smaller, fast paced, more powerful, and more automatic world, unless all leaders and lawmakers in the world become wiser and less ready to make irreversible decisions based solely on their beliefs, a cascade of tragic events that is so catastrophic that it could end the world as we know it, will continue to become more likely,” concludes Spagnoletti.

"I never really understood why people often did very illogical things. But after reading this book, I now realize that all persons, due to the process by which we arrive at our beliefs, are often reliant on huge accumulations of incorrect beliefs when we make what in our minds are logical decisions to do things that are very wrong," said Ann Bancroft, psychologist.
