Flawed brain.

The brain is trying to understand statistics.

Statistics of the world, the environment, and statistics of yourself. They are fundamental operations that happen below the cortical layer.

The brain simplifies. The brain interprets. The brain draws conclusions. The brain fills gaps. The brain is flawed.

Well, it is a wonderful machine. The most amazing machine we have knowledge of, but jt is working like that despite yourself.

Would you trust your whole life to a person that gives you an oversimplified, often wrong, depiction of the whatever information you requested from her? Of course you wouldn’t.
