well the idols of the mind according to Francis Bacon are sistematic errors of our minds, they are bad habits of our minds that interfir with our logic. there are four idols:
idols of the tribe
idols of the cave
idols of the marketplace
and idols of the theatre
an example of an idol of the marketplace can be something that happend to me, once I was looking the hair of a blond friend I have and i said: oh this hair is like a gray hair but black... when i say it for me it had sence because she is blond and there was a black hair on her head but later i realize that the thing I said was estupid because if it is black it can't be a gray hair.

I remember when you say that it was really funny, I like that example to explain idols of the marketplace! I dont like the image
