It's saying that we create constructs that are basically true, but not the whole picture. It's like a kid who won't accept a quarter from his mom and when asked why says, "Dad showed me what a quarter looks like. It has an eagle, not a head." Once were trapped in the construct we can't see the truth.

No wonder I didn't quite understand it. I'm an Aussie and quarter, eagle and head are not relevant to my coinage. But I have lived for 7 years in the USA, so I have a bit of an idea.
The only issue I have with the attachment might be it represents Truth is subjective and not objective. For me, the issue comes down to respect, and there have been times I haven't been respectful. I'm reading a book on world views and knowing what your opponents worldview is and properly show how it is wrong takes work to understand and it shows respect.
I'm very good at getting along with others. Mostly because I've learned to ignore willful stupidity. In fact, I've been on CF for about 1 week now and I have 6 people on my ignore status!
