the Idols of the Mind are (for me) the margins of error that appear when we think, and also are not really easy to change, and are named by Francis Bacon. There are 4:
-Tribe Idols: they are idols that appear when we are in a new or different situation than usual and that request a fast response, and what happens is that we do what others do.
-Cave Idols: they appear when someone does a terrible, horrible, grotesque thing, and asks for a response as same as terrible, horrible and grotesque.
-Marketplace Idols: its a language problem, which can arise from differences in the culture, in the characteristics of the message (speed, tone, complexity), etc.
-Theatre Idols: wrong apprenticeship or misunderstanding and the diffusal of it.
the only thing I can say about it is that I hate them with my whole being and I think they come from people that like to act like idiots or are ignorants..
an example of a cave idol is what happened today at school: our homeroom teacher told us that we must bring the memo's signed by our parents, but many parents get the memo's through e-mails and of their children mouths, but still he insisted that we must bring them signed because his boss says so.
