Your perception of Right Now is a rolling time window 2-3 seconds wide, which is pretty dang far from instantaneous. That's wild to me.
Saccadic Masking is one of my favorite examples of this. @foone@twitter.com did a fun thread a couple of weeks ago about how eye movements make our subjectivity time travel.
Anyway your experience of the world is an janky-ass active construct of your brain, not any kind of pass-through feed on "reality".
And that's why I have a necker cube tattoo.
@starkatt what's a necker cube?
@Felthry it's the wireframe cube in the attached image, the one you can mentally flip so either "face" is forwards.
(lol I didn't notice the edit-induced typo of "an janky-ass" but I think I actually like it better that way)
