Is There a Cascade of Effects?

The assumption that you made from the beginning was in some way subjective, right? I objectively had a broken ankle, but there was a variety of ways to interpret the rate. So because our brains can't process everything at one time, it goes on these simplifying systems. Rit you start noticing things that confirm the prediction that you had in the first place. It's called confirmation bias. And it tends to create this self fulfilling loop, because then you're getting data that feeds back to that belief or prediction.
