Such misapprehensions have been suggested to inspire illusory thought, occasionally paving way to tragic concerns relative to important life spaces, such as well-being, funds, and comfort. Scientific thinking is the greatest probable protection, but it does not come automatically and needs to be communicated. Training how to think scientifically should assist in improved acceptance of illusion of
