When you concentrate you also ignore stuff.
(we all concentrate, for work, play, reading, studying, school … we practice it in school … people who are good at it are “good workers”…)
But you call it CONCENTRATION instead of IGNORING because the stuff you concentrate on gets easy-to-see but the stuff you ignore sorta fades away (and then you stop thinking about it, and then it disappears).
The stuff you concentrate on is relatively small. A book. An idea. A game. An attractive girl’s butt. A plan for the future. A tv show.
And that stuff getting ignored is relatively HUGE. Like a whole invisible universe there.
It’s spooky when you think of it. Like a little bit of DIY brain surgery that everybody does but nobody talks about. Like we’re all a bunch of Harry Potters casting obliviate upon ourselves.
And then we forgot that we cast it, because it’s obliviate.
So tell me what you think.
i dont see anything weird about this. its just standard operating procedure for human.
its like the idea that the ‘miracle of birth’ is magical… but how magical can something be that happens 5 times per second.
It is a standard operating procedure for most animals with higher level thinking.
Animals don’t have multi core processors able to handle multiple high level activities.
The fact that everybody does it doesn’t seem to make it less crazy.
i say the same thing about republicans existing.
the fact there are so, so many racist/fascist humans or those will to bend the knee to those qualities seems objectively insane.
Ya those guys are the worst. I’m so glad that we’re us.
are we though? were just bowls of electrified meat in little boney containers with minimal sensory perception. meeat
