Episode notes
INSIGHT

Simulated Reality

  • The brain creates a simplified model of reality to manage its complexity.
  • This model, developed in the womb and refined throughout life, distorts reality but aids survival.
INSIGHT

World Model Development

  • Our world models start before birth, focusing initially on basic sensory inputs.
  • As we grow, we develop a personal self, separate from the world, caring about and reacting to perceptions and emotions.
INSIGHT

Coarse-Grained Reality

  • Our perception of reality is a coarse-grained model of base reality, generalizing over data at the resolution of our senses.
  • Objective properties like color and sound don't exist in the physical world; they're our brain's interpretations.
