Brain vs. Reality

One brain. Many brains. 7 billion brains. All the brains in the history of the world. All connected by dialogue, text, images, electronics over space and time. Even with all of that, reality is fluid and elusive. Every brain is prejudiced by its filters and prejudiced by its laziness, its courage, its muscularity, the limitations of the vessel that transport it.

With our brains we can sidestep reality, invent illusions of reality, create realities that make the world seem sensible or throw ourselves at reality again and again hoping for a few sparks and a little light.
Click. Bang. Pow.
