I can see how your mind would think this was on a different topic. Following the link to the post I am replying to will also explain the topic some. As for wishful thinking vs. confirmation bias. I would go with wishful thinking. Something about confirmation bias doesn't quite ring right, but I also have a limited understanding of it. Now to explain your thoughts and the synchronicity of this post. You are currently watch people flounder about helplessly in your courses. Their being whole beings would probably help that. Yoga is one way to that, though it is also a great way to deal with the stress associated with dealing with them. Thus your thoughts. Everything else is just coincidence. *wipes sweat off brow* The invoice is in the mail. Thank you!

Being an ontologist, I was, of course, thinking that this was going somewhere else entirely. Wholeness, I had thought, would lead to how we separate things into discrete objects . . . my relational ontology stuff. Now, I wonder if that would be classified as wishful thinking or confirmation bias gone awry? I haven't even thought about relational ontology in a while, but HAVE thought about yoga and human holism recently. Explain that, Mr. Psych-guy! Wow–this was a very good post!
