so im reading this book..its called "this is your brain on music" by daniel levitin (or sumin like that)
so he explain many things about how we perceive things and this one really gets me..that nothing as we perceive it in the world is actually like that...colour is the result of light being reflected and our brains adding info and sorting info etc...and even anything we perceive our brains fill in information..so we really under some wild illusion...
he said something like our brains have the ability to filter our information (example sound) and we can focus on certain things...now imagine perceiving all sounds that we hear at any point in time at the same level...so we would hear a bird chirping ourside at the same level as someone screaming at us...we would hear everything perfectly...that would be intense...
in other reading the author put forward a theory that we capable of perceiving everything in the world at any time we essentially have a "mind at large" where we can see everything and hear everything...our minds filter out information as it would be irrelevent and useless...
