Ed, I’ve got news for you
No Brain
Welcome to two hundred milliseconds
What?
Well, it could be this
Well, it could be that
Well, it could be this
Well, it could be that
What?
A couple of milliseconds
It’s either this or that (no brain)
It’s either this or that (no brain)
It’s either this or that
It’s either this or that (what)
They just don’t see it
Ed, I’ve got news for you
If you experienced everything when you were crossing a street
You would never get across the street
The world is trillions of times more complicated
You don’t actually see what gets edited out
We have to cut it down to a manageable entity (entity)
A filter bubble
One trillionth of the information that hits your eye
Actually gets transmitted to the brain
It’s less than a trillionth of reality that we exist in
Less than a trillionth of reality (that you live in online)
When you perceive something
When your brain is doing this
You have a tenth of a second before it becomes conscious
When your brain is doing that
And it will change in that tenth of a second
To fit what you already know (no brain)
It’s not denying it
It’s like it’s not even a fact (what)
The rich see already a different internet than the poor
It’s our users who control what they see
The facts will be ignored or attacked
They just don’t see it
We have to do it
It’s an illusion (it’s either this or that)
But it’s an illusion that we’ve all constructed
So that we can live
Y’know you sort of step two steps to the side
To get a better view on something
To get a better angle
And the world turns to meet your gaze
