Isn't it all illusion, really? How much of what we know is actual? We cannot trust what we see, because everything is filtered through sense images and memory. The entire concept of the present is an illusion.

Look at anything...The object you are seeing is he memory of an object, a sense image created by the transfer of information from light into nerve impulse and then decoded in the brain. This may take the tiniest nano-fraction of a second, but it still takes time...everything is memory. Everything is illusion.

How's that for scary?

my brain hurts
