Why Your Brain Blinds You For 2 Hours Every Day

This video was sponsored by Brilliant. Thanks a lot for the support! Sources & further reading: Reality is not real. Your world is a prediction. Every sight, sound, and touch you experience is the result of calculations your brain makes before reality even reaches you. It fills in gaps, fabricates details, and even alters time itself so you feel like you’re in control. But if everything you know is an illusion… what does that say about you? What does it mean for your choices? Is there even free will?
