Jason Silva on Perspective | Brain Games

perspective is a fascinating topic right
off the bat there’s this great line by
Nietzsche who says there are no facts
only interpretations in other words
we’re all limited by where we’re
standing we’re all limited by our unique
perspective but we should quickly
realize is that we cannot know reality
directly we can only know reality
through the filters of our brain through
the interpretation of our brains our
eyes can only actually perceive
low-resolution flat two-dimensional
images yet we all experience the world
that we think is in 3d and in high-def
when in fact that is our brain filling
in the blanks that is our brain
completing a pattern estimating what’s
out there based on information that it
can only process in low res and
two-dimensional visual images so
consider that I’m talking just about the
eyes but consider the fact that from
these limited signals we then create an
experience from our unique point of view
that is rendered in high-definition and
3d at least from our subjective
perspective but a reminder again that is
not reality what we experience on a
day-to-day basis is the poetry of the
world as seen through our eyes that is
perspective
