The Importance of Perception

Many times in scientific history, we've discovered things which seem massively intuitive turn out to be massively wrong. Few things seem more intuitive than the flatness of the earth to a person standing at any point on earth. When you argue that our intuitions could again be wrong and our perceptions might just diverge wildly from objective reality, yet still be advantageous. You often cite a very powerful metaphor of a computer desktop. That's right. It's doing psychology and psychology experiments, psychology theories, but being very mathematical about it.
