Evolve Solutions; When You Find A Good

You Gleefully Say, "i Just Thought Of Something!", When In Fact Your Brain Performed An Enormous Amount Of Work Before Your Moment Of Genius Struck. When An Idea Is Served Up From Behind The Scenes, Your Neural Circuitry Has Been Working On It For Hours Or Days Or Years, Consolidating Information And Trying Out New Combinations. But You Take Credit Without Further Wonderment At The Vast, Hidden Machinery Behind The Scenes.

We Are Not At The Center Of Ourselves, But Instead - Like The Earth In The Milky Way, And The Milky Way In The Universe - Far Out On A Distant Edge, Hearing Little Of What Is Transpiring.

Each Cell Sends Electrical Pulses To Other Cells, Up To Hundreds Of Times Per Second. If You Represented Each Of These Trillions And Trillions Of Pulses In Your Brain By A Single Photon Of Light, The Combined Output Would Be Blinding.

You´re Not Perceiving What's Out There. You're Perceiving Whatever Your Brain Tells You.

In The Traditionally Taught View Of Perception, Data From The Sensorium Pours Into The Brain, Works Its Way Up The Sensory Hierarchy, And Makes Itself Seen, Heard, Smelled, Tasted, Felt - "perceived." But A Closer Examination Of The Data Suggests This Is Incorrect. The Brain Is Properly Thought Of As A Mostly Closed System That Runs On Its Own Internally Generated Activity.
