though Spitzer firmly denied a published report that the couple was separated."Regarding
Silda's dearth of appearances on the campaign, there has been a maelstrom
of media attention focused on Eliot's entry into the race," said Lisa
Linden, the campaign's spokeswoman. "He has no desire to bring his family
into the media frenzy at this time."Linden did not say when, or
if, the former New York first lady would campaign for her husband.
Spitzer has acknowledged the "hurt" he caused his wife but said she
would soon join him on the trail.Wall Spitzer didn't respond to a
request for comment."No one will forget that press conference; having her
get back out there is a lot to ask," said Christina Greer,
professor at Fordham University. "She could be saying, `I did it once.
I was raked over the coals, with people analyzing my scarf, my
jewelry, my tears. You want to get back out there? Fine, but
don't expect me to do it with you."'Spitzer's primary rival, Manhattan Borough
President Scott Stringer, campaigned with his wife the day after Spitzer
announced his bid.Experts differ as to how much Wall Spitzer's absence will
matter."Is it a sign she thinks he'll do it again?" Schiller asked.
"Has he really learned his lesson? It could signal to women that
she has doubts about his character."Political strategist Bill Cunningham,
a former adviser to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said voters pick a candidate
based on the spouse and don't care if they a
t take that at all to mean that we're
constructing reality," he told LiveScience.All in the mindAs members of
society, people create a form of collective reality. "We are all part
of a community of minds," Freeman says in the show.For example, money,
in reality, consists of pieces of paper, yet those papers represent something
much more valuable. The pieces of paper have the power of life
and death, Freeman says but they wouldn't be worth anything if people
didn't believe in their power.Money is fiction, but it's useful fiction.Another
fiction humans collectively engage in is optimism. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot
of University College London studies "the optimism bias": people's tendency
to generally overestimate the likelihood of positive events in their lives
and underestimate the likelihood of negative ones.In the show, Sharot does
an experiment in which she puts a man in a brain scanner,
and asks him to rate the likelihood that negative events, such as
lung cancer, will happen to him. Then, he is given the true
likelihood.When the actual risks differ from the man's estimates, his frontal
lobes light up. But the brain area does a better job of
reacting to the discrepancy when the reality is more positive than what
he guessed, Sharot said.This shows how humans are somewhat hardwired to
be optimistic. That may be because optimism "tends to have a lot
of positive outcomes," Sharot told LiveScience. Optimistic people tend to
live longer
