WHY WE SENSE THE UNIVERSE SIMILARLY BUT EXPERIENCE IT DIFFERENTLY:
The Dimensions that Determine the Biases in Our Brains

–“Q:Curt: Do you make distinction between phenomena and noumena? Do you agree with Kant in the way that we can’t ever have a total comprehension of reality?”–

The first problem with the question is the word ‘we’.
Humans demonstrate at least the following Dimensions of the mind:
1. Masculine systematizing over time and scale (predator) vs feminine Empathizing in time absent scale (prey).
2. The degree of dominance in that masculine compartmental (autistic) vs Feminine integrated (psychotic)
3. Where in the back-to-front organization of the brain the individual is dominant (sensory, physical, social, rational, empirical)
4. The degree of disambiguation between the dream, experience, imagination, observation, and conscious states.
5. The Bias in processing assets (morality) from the feminine limited, to ascendent male less limited, to the dominant male complete.
6. The Bias in Processing Information (before, during, after) or what we test (personality) as the big five, intelligence, and sex.
7. The degree of neotenic evolution in the genome – rate of limited adaptivity in maturity vs continued adaptivity in neoteny.
8. The degree of success in in-utero and first two years of development (genetics) especially in neural network formation.
9. Age (obviously) especially the behavioral adaptivity prior to puberty, the intersexual adaptivity during and right after, and the declining intersexual adaptation after maturity.
10. Experience – including socialization, education, training.
11. Accumulated Trauma or Damage
(I’m missing one I think, but i’ll add it later if it comes to me) 😉

The second problem is that Kant wasn’t a neuroscientist and we know these things today the he didn’t and couldn’t know, and was almost entirely wrong about.

1)by the 10+ criteria abobve, some of us live in a dream state and some of us live in extraordinarly accurate reality. THe reason is that while our brains are quite exceptional at disambiguating senses into a three dimensional model of the world we can act in, that information is then used to predict future possibiliities, value them, and suggest them to us as intuition.

So if some of us live in near dream states and some in cold hard reality and some of us somewhere in between, then the problem is the concept of ‘we’. Some of us grasp the world very clearly and some of us living stories from our imaginations or impulses projected on top of that world without being able to tell much of the difference, which, as we see in both schizophrenia and psychosis is a rather obvious result of the extremes.

In other words, if nothing goes wrong, then we see the world very much as it is for the purpose of action at human scale. What we imagine is something very different. And the worse you are at imagining, and the more dream state you’re in along with it, the less of theh world you really live in and th emore of the fantasy world you live in.

This is why we can’t make everyone agree. Because while the combination of our ability to observe, disambiguate and negavate space and time, is marginally indifferent, our use of langauge, which of necessity must consist of a protocol across minds of such different experiencee, then fools us into thing we share the same interpretations of the world that we sense and percieve.

So a) philosophers are irrelevant in every possible way, b) we see the world as it is, c) we imagine what it means to us differently.
