AT 4:30 MARK LOOK UP THE MULLER-LYER IILUSION!

The brain does not see the world. It does not hear the world. It does not touch the world.

The brain rests in complete darkness, sealed in the cavern of the skull. What we call "sight" or "sound" or "touch" are not direct encounters with an external reality—they are internal translations.

Photons strike the eyes; pressure waves ripple into ears; electron clouds in atoms repel those in the skin. These signals are converted into electrochemical patterns,

The brain interprets through the prism of our psychology and assembles a model—what we call perception.

The brain does not merely receive the world—it creates a "middle world" to human dimensions and drawn between atoms and galaxies, tailored to survival, memory, and narrative.

This episode attempts to deconstruct the metaphysics of perception into 5 layers.
