In this thought-provoking blog post, the author explores the idea that reality is much more nuanced and detailed than we often perceive it to be. They argue that our brains have evolved to simplify and categorize information in order to efficiently navigate the world. However, this simplification comes at the cost of missing out on the intricate details that exist in our surroundings. The author uses examples from psychology and philosophy to support their claim that our everyday experience is just a simplified version of the complex reality that actually exists. By recognizing the limitations of our perception, the author suggests that we can cultivate a more accurate understanding of the world and make better decisions based on a deeper understanding of its complexity.
