Evolutionary insulation

No comments

We draw a picture of the world in mind, consuming reality. We are physiologically forced to do it because our receptors cannot convey the fullness of the impact that has on our universe. We would have gone mad if for a moment to see the world as it is.
Biology protects us from such exposure. Due to the incompleteness of the bodies we live, literally painting the world in his head. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the land - drive, with houses and gardens, sky - starry dome, and cloud - castles and fantastic beasts. Here you can talk about the defense mechanisms that buffer lies between our perception and the brain.
The acuteness of perception scares. Any hint of something unusual, great, strange, or we try to understand and use it, or to protect themselves and never deal with "him."
The most effective, but not very constructive way to relieve stress is a drug. Alcohol chic clouding consciousness, lowering sensitivity and disabling brain. With dulled perception of life is better, calmer, more relaxed.
This kind of protection too. The brain understands that there are certain difficulties that he cannot afford, and should be done so that they would no longer bother. But this does not negate the laws of the world. When blurred consciousness, we cannot understand that we are standing on a lump of clay, with a thin film of air and rushing around at exorbitant rate fireball that could incinerate us for a moment. When blunting of perception, we are not able to realize that the people around us, like a constellation. They, too, are made up of small dots (atoms) and perceiving them, we draw the image, calling him.

Brain development is afraid because they do not know what to do in the new stage of development. Where it is more convenient to live in the old, understand the world, but not in a cold world of the future. And each will remain in his. With its own perception of the world.
