Reality, mostly, is not what it is but what we have decided it is:
A little old Jewish lady sits down in a plane next to a a big Swede and keeps staring at him. Finally she turns to him and says, "Pardon me, are you Jewish?"
He says, "No."
A few minutes later she turns to him again and says, "You can tell me, you know - you are Jewish, aren't you?"
He says, "Most certainly not."
She keeps studying him for some minutes, then says again," "I can tell you are Jewish."
In order to get rid of the annoyance, the mans says, "Okay, so I'm Jewish!"
She looks at him again, shakes her head, and says, "You certainly don't look it."
We first make our conclusions - then find some way to arrive at them
