Reminds me of this:
> According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality."
[(8) Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality | Anil Seth - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyu7v7nWzfo)
"The current thinking is that about 40 percent of your neurological power is being used for visual processing ... the visual cortex functions a lot like a graphics processor in a computer. It takes the information fed to it by the eyes and renders a world for the person to perceive. And that it only really needs to be fed a very sparse amount of data to do that. “Maybe we all have genetically passed on versions of the world and all we do is intake sparse change data to update that model, but we have a persistent model ... Everything you think is outside of you is completely rendered internally by you, co-created by you plus the analog light field signal ... The world you are living in, you are creating constantly"
