OBSERVATION I · THE MIND

Do you see the world, or your guess of it?

A fridge hums in your kitchen.

All day. Every day.

You stopped hearing it years ago.

Then it stops.

And the silence makes you look up.

Stop.

Listen to the room you are in.

Can you hear it now?

Whatever you just heard was there all along.

Your brain deleted it. The question undeleted it.

Your phone buzzes in your pocket.

You reach for it.

Nothing is there.

You never heard the hum. You heard it break.

You never felt a buzz. You felt a guess.

Your brain predicts first.

Reality comes second.

THE RECEIPT

20%

Your brain is 2% of your body. It burns 20% of your fuel.

RAICHLE & GUSNARD · PNAS · 2002

You never touch the world. You touch your guess of it.

Your pocket will buzz today. Check if anything is there.
