==== perceive vs project ====

memories, beliefs, personae, stories, games all act as filters upon our perception.
This controls our interpretation of events.
Not only that, it controls our perception.
In fact some go so far as to say the whole world is a product of our mind.
Or of consciousness itself.
The world lives within consciousness.
There is no objective reality.  All we experience is generated by our mind.

Elon Musk says the purpose of xAI is to understand the universe.
To understand the universe you must pursue truth rigorously.
If you don't you suffer from some amount of delusion or error.

If love is real and fear is an illusion
then who is creating the illusion?  Your mind.
Your mind is not a camera.
It is a projector.
So your brain doesn't record reality,
it generates reality.
