when light hits your eye then you immediately have a perception of worlds

immediately have a perception of worlds

immediately have a perception of worlds line but that doesn’t happen it takes a

line but that doesn’t happen it takes a

line but that doesn’t happen it takes a while to create a perception even a

tenth of a second it turns out it’s a

tenth of a second it turns out it’s a tenth of a second delay that doesn’t

tenth of a second delay that doesn’t

tenth of a second delay that doesn’t seem like much but if you’re walking at

seem like much but if you’re walking at

seem like much but if you’re walking at just one meter per second then a tenth

just one meter per second then a tenth

just one meter per second then a tenth of a second is ten centimeters and ten

of a second is ten centimeters and ten

of a second is ten centimeters and ten centimeters is a lot if you didn’t

centimeters is a lot if you didn’t

centimeters is a lot if you didn’t correct for this delay than anything

correct for this delay than anything

correct for this delay than anything that you perceived to be within ten

that you perceived to be within ten

that you perceived to be within ten centimeters of passing you would have

centimeters of passing you would have

centimeters of passing you would have already bumped into you or you would

already bumped into you or you would

already bumped into you or you would have just pass it by the time you

have just pass it by the time you

have just pass it by the time you perceived it and if someone’s throwing

perceived it and if someone’s throwing

perceived it and if someone’s throwing something at you it’s going to be moving

something at you it’s going to be moving

something at you it’s going to be moving much faster your delay might be you’re

much faster your delay might be you’re

much faster your delay might be you’re gonna get things wrong by this much not

gonna get things wrong by this much not

gonna get things wrong by this much not just by this much we need to correct for

just by this much we need to correct for

just by this much we need to correct for this in order to have the kind of

this in order to have the kind of

this in order to have the kind of behaviors that we have so what the brain

behaviors that we have so what the brain

behaviors that we have so what the brain wants to do is not generate a perception

wants to do is not generate a perception

wants to do is not generate a perception of what the world was like when it hit

of what the world was like when it hit

of what the world was like when it hit the eye but generate a perception of the

the eye but generate a perception of the

the eye but generate a perception of the near future because that way by the time

near future because that way by the time

near future because that way by the time that near future arrives you have a

that near future arrives you have a

that near future arrives you have a perception that’s representative of that

perception that’s representative of that

perception that’s representative of that future and so you have a perception

future and so you have a perception

future and so you have a perception actually of that moment you have a

actually of that moment you have a

actually of that moment you have a perception of the present but it

perception of the present but it

perception of the present but it requires anticipating the next moment in

requires anticipating the next moment in

requires anticipating the next moment in order to have perceptions of the present
