Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. the commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... the analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.

People hear from donald trump that he's such an extraordinary success. they didn't know about trump airlines and trump mortgages and trump vitamin network and trump steaks and trump taj mahal. they didn't realize a lot of small people have been crushed by donald trump's rise to become a very wealthy man, successful financially, but this is a guy who has not been a uniform success.
