Episode notes
Our perception of the world is based on creating a story that aligns with the information we receive. Children are afraid of the dark because there is nothing contradicting their inner fantasies of trolls and demons. In contrast, in daylight, there is a lot of information contradicting these ideas. Our perception of the world is essentially a hallucination we construct, ensuring it does not conflict with sensory data. In essence, we are constantly telling stories to create a consistent idea of the world.
