Imagine a cage containing five monkeys.

Good story. I certainly know a few of those monkeys (and a few
veterinarians studying real monkeys too). But I suppose we all have the
ability of acting like those monkeys from time to time even if we are
consciously aware of the issue and try to disrupt the process. I think
that's a strong point of the article, that our reactions are hardwired
to at least a certain degree. Catching (and adjusting) our own narrow
agendas is cool, but what about what we genuinely miss? And how much are
we missing on any given day. Probably more than we are comfortable with.
