Idiot Brain
“The haphazard properties of the brain’s observational systems One of the more intriguing and (apparently) uniquely human abilities granted us by our mighty brains is the ability to look “inwards.” We are self-aware, we can sense our internal state and our own minds, and even assess and study them.

We perceive the world via our senses, focus on the important elements of it, and act accordingly.
Many may think what we perceive in our heads is a 100 percent accurate representation of the world as it is, as if the eyes and ears and the rest are essentially passive recording systems, receiving information and passing it on to the brain, which sorts it and organizes it and sends it to the relevant places, like a pilot checking the instruments.MoreLess
