Episode notes
Perception Centers Experience
- Perception organizes experience into a subject (me) and objects (everything else), creating a center-and-others layout.
- This perceptual filter makes you feel like the center of the universe even if you don't think that way consciously.
Importance Is Relational
- The subject-object overlay includes a graded sense of value where people and things are ranked by importance relative to you.
- This ranking shapes attention, sacrifice, and how much you care about each person or thing.
The Overlay Is Developmental
- The subject-object construct is not a moral failing but a developmental filter that aided survival and ego formation.
- It becomes unnecessary in adulthood yet originally served to protect and help function in the world.
