Reality is not real. Your world is a prediction. Every sight, sound, and touch you experience is the result of calculations your brain makes before reality even reaches you. It fills in gaps, fabricates details, and even alters time itself so you feel like you’re in control. But if everything you know is an illusion… what does that say about you? What does it mean for your choices? Is there even free will?

I love it! (same with ALL kurzgesagt video's)

Jeremie BP

Ouch! XD That makes a lot of sense. Always loved Kurzgesagt's videos!!!

Impressive video. Your brain, housing "you"—mind and consciousness—controls all, splitting time so thoughts arise as the observer listens to it. Delayed by physics & processing speed, your brain-generated subjective experience projects a literal imagined future, not true reality. Not at all, especially with the VERY, VERY limited perception of our senses.

Jeremie BP

What if one knows, or at least suspects all of this and willingly goes with it? I guess it no longer qualifies as everything being a lie, does it?

I absolutely enjoyed this video as a person who is currently studying psychology and behavioral health. Psychology has been an interesting subject to me for years, and watching this video has improved my interests more. I would love to see more videos like this one or that are more towards psychology!

Impressive video on Perception, it’s latency & how our brain works around it.
