Your Brain’s Invented Reality

What you’re hearing right now might not actually exist. Your brain often fills in sounds

that aren’t really there. Not because it’s broken, but because it’s

built for survival, not for truth. When information is missing, your brain completes

the picture. The same way you can see movement where there is none, or hear words inside

random noise. And now the unsettling part. Your brain uses the exact same process

for your memories. Which means you can be completely certain about something… and still be wrong.

So the next time you feel absolutely sure, ask yourself this: did I experience

reality — or just the version my brain allowed me to see?”
