the following quotes:

"...what we think of as reality is just a particular version of quantum mush or tangled strings cooked up by our limited senses."

and

'...we're not even getting the straight dope from our ears and eyes because our brain is concocting a good story from the input."

both are somewhat accurate if you look at congnitive/neuro science.

but these topics also delve into the world of philosophy...(if a tree falls...)


i heard a good quote to the effect of "philosophy is the study of things that man can never truly understand".

'...we're not even getting the straight dope from our ears and eyes because our brain is concocting a good story from the input."

I find this to be particularly true. Interpretations of our surroundings are always individual because of everyone's unique psychological makeup. It's very interesting.

I think it's thanks to the straight dope that my brain concocts such good stories


Yeah perception is a funny thing.
