But it doesn’t. The unsettling Matrix-esque truth here is that we all live in world-simulations, pretty much all of the time. The brain isn’t out in the world; it’s locked in a dark box in your head. Patterns of information ting against our senses and get routed into the brain for model assembly. One of the core insights of the science of perception is our models of the world are heavily interpreted—our own expectations and cultural mores and personal history shape “The Real,” so that in some ways our personal little submarines move through an ocean of our own making."]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/307/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>What is intelligence? by James R.
