You are part of a complex social network that changes your biology with every interaction, and which your actions can change.

Nothing is inherently tasty or repulsive - it depends on your needs. Deliciousness is simply an index of usefulness.

The more familiar the world becomes, the less information your brain writes down, and the more quickly time seems to pass.

In the traditionally taught view of perception, data from the sensorium pours into the brain, works its way up the sensory hierarchy, and makes itself seen, heard, smelled, tasted, felt - "perceived." But a closer examination of the data suggests this is incorrect. The brain is properly thought of as a mostly closed system that runs on its own internally generated activity.

Our internal life and external actions are steered by biological coctails to which we have neither immediate access nor direct acquaintance.

The brain runs its show incognito.

All activity in the brain is driven by other activity in the brain, in a vastly complex, interconnected network.
