Yes, yeah, that's absolutely right. And the fascinating part is that all this is happening unconsciously. We're going and we're seeking out answers from the world. And it's a matter of what your attention is drawn to also. So if I say, hey, what's the feeling of your shoe on your left foot right now? Right, right. You can become aware of that.

You've got all the data, if we want to call it that, available to you, but you're only seeking little parts. And this all depends on your internal model of the world. in terms of who you are, what is relevant to you. And that's the filter through which we interpret everything. And so when it comes to this question of truth, there is no singular truth because

You've got a completely different set of experiences of your brain, my brain, everyone's brain. We're all going to perceive different things and seek different things from the world. Something we might get into later that I'm very interested in, and I know you are too, is this collection of neural networks or personalities that we have inside.
