      Yes, it’s impressive that only .01% of our neurons are in contact with the world but one must consider the fact that what we consider the world could also be our brain telling us what the world is. Like Emily Dickinson wrote about how the brain is larger than the sky but it’s only larger because our brain creates the sky. Does our brain create the world? And if our brain creates the world then we only enabling people to think in one direction. It seems to me that if one sees something differently than a group of people then they are considered weird, but this single person is seeing the world the way their brain is creating it.

      This logic of free thinking is challenged because we are not thinking freely; we are interpreting what our brain is telling us the world is. With this image and the bias our brain has, our minds are creating ideas and actions that are really just based on the way our brain interprets the world. In effect, something like color blindness could be create serious problems because color blindness is not a trait/disease most people have, however it is an interpretation of the image our brain projects of the world. If one sees a green light instead of a red light and continues driving through the intersection, that person has done nothing wrong because it is that persons brain that created the world so that this light is green and not red (something many other people would see). If this were the case I would pose the question, should this person with red/green color blindness get a ticket for running a red light? In this case is that red light relative to the person who sees it and should they be penalized for their brain’s image of the world at that moment?
