The Matrix

Our body has sense organs which are not meant to be perfect. They dont give us "true" meaning of the world. They are not meant to do that. As we all know evolution is for survival- hence the organs evolve to give us the best senses to survive. What it means is it does not worry about right or wrong - it worries about what is that sensation and how does it affect my survival. 

We learn about the perception illusions from books to innumerous social media posts. One of the examples for the above idea is peripheral vision. Peripheral vision in humans is surprisingly monochrome not in colour- what- well its true. Why? 

You also notice when someone or something is moving in the Conner of your eye rather than which is in the front of you.  It may be because vision is worried about sneak attack and to defend them- peripheral vision is given that "extra". In modern life- crossing the road to riding a bike is very much dependent on the peripheral vision and its ability to sense movements (in the peripheral region.).  

When you walk in the night and you see in the corner of the eye -a street dog steering- you take evasive steps- irrespective of  whether it moved because it had a bad dream (assuming dogs have dreams) or it is going to attack you. see the vision or the brain does not worry about the "truth" - it wants to protect you- thats it primary objective.

It is true for everything- sound, touch and much more. The brain is not really trying to find the truth. You need to try harder and use your brain to find the truth. Truth are harder- it does not show it self. It has layers of layers of something which can sometimes be pealed of. Sometimes it cannot. But it seems we can and do have a brain which can.

Sadly it takes so much of time and effort to do it. The context does not want us to. The context here i mean not just the physical world but the people. People want easy solutions to survive- which usually translates to making money. We will do anything to survive- that is to make money- it is not a wrong thing as most of our middle class dork brain tells us- it is what it is. Thats is millions of years of evolution. Just look at all our religious leaders- from the morons who call themselves priest or brother- who have made so much of money in the name of prayer- then we have people in drag who have so much of power everyone kneels before them. They are great people it seems- as darwin suggested- they have become fittest- they have accumulated so much power and money and naturally we think they are great people. In the same sense we also have people who pray to Musk who makes cars no one in India who works for money can every buy his car, because- he makes us feel he is superior- fitter. 

All these are natural, but not the truth as we all know, but cant get out of the loop, can we? If we could - we could and i could come closer to the truth. For that i have to break the evolutionary mold which made me and guides me and understand this is not true. How difficult. Will the context allow me. Will the self think i am a imbecile? can i over come that ? If i know the answers to these then i can ask the question what is the path?

until then these are all just useless stories to while away the time. we will always pray to power and to money rather than to the truth isnt it.

Too much pessimism?  still in the nihilistic loop- probably isnt it prakash
