Metaphor in Context
As Daniel Kahnemann so beautifully demonstrates in his book "Thinking Fast and Slow," the human mind has all sorts of wired-in cognitive shortcuts that can feel an awful lot like thinking. Within the dark recesses of confirmation bias, an entire field of academic inquiry (behavioral economics) now proposes to explain whole swaths of human behavior based on such mental foibles. And entire television news networks now make their living through exploiting this by telling us exactly what we want to hear.
