Defense Against the Dark Arts Episode 8: Schemata
In 1954 Aldous Huxley, (the Brit who wrote Brave New World 1932) wrote The Doors of Perception, which was a drug induced exploration of SCHEMATA. (Jim Morrison read it and named his band "The Doors" after the book). This series is about defending yourself from manipulation. Our minds are not infallible and there are many ways manipulators can use our own minds against us. One of those vectors of attack is poking for holes in the model of schemata... our mental framework for perception, to see if any of our doors are left unlocked...

We aren't omniscient and we don't have infinite time to convey a story, we therefore have to summarize stories... frame them in a context. This is utilized by scumbag manipulators along with spin. Deeper meanings? Stories within stories? Directed assumptions. Be wary.
