This is you
You are a brain
You Live HerE
In a skull
in the dark
YOU HAVE MAps
The map is not
the territory
You can only see your map
but it feels like reality
This is what it feels like
to be a brain
Why aren't maps perfect?
- Can't observe the entire territory
- Can't process the entire territory, in real time
- Systematic human biases
Stereotyping, defensiveness, hindsight bias,
planning fallacy,
conjunction fallacy,
confirmation fallacy, false consensus effect
priming, contamination,
illusion of transparency,
the halo effect, dunning-kruger effect,
availability
heuristic, affect heuristic,
wishful thinking
