In ordinary perception, the senses send an overwhelming flood of information to the brain, which the brain then filters down to a trickle it can manage for the purpose of survival in a highly competitive world.

It is efficient, for mere survival, but it screens out the most wondrous part of man's potential experience without his even knowing it. We're shut off from our own world.” MenWorldPurposeBrainKnowingInformationPerceptionSurvivalOrdinaryMereScreensSensesRationalManageOverwhelmingEfficientPaleFloodReducingFiltersWondrousHuxleyUtilitarianValveKool Aid Book:The electric kool-aid acid test Source: The electric kool-aid acid test
