So, I have been listening to Paul's story about how the brain gets and interprets inputs, as well as how the brain constructs a lot of what we sense.  While some parts make sense to me and I understand, other parts simply seem foreign, confusing, and backward.  I am still grappling with that dissonance...

What I am left wondering is, What is the point?  Why has Paul devoted all the time and energy (two sessions worth) to the senses?  Is it simply to once again shatter my understanding of the world?  To once again examine my assumptions?  I already have accepted that everything I thought I knew is open for question.  I have also accepted the idea that the brain constructs our reality.  I'm still searching for a new understanding or a new story to emerge from these two days of work...
