Why do people not know that their minds are interpreting electro-chemical signals and that their experience of physicality is inferred and deductive?

Do the fish in the fish tank see the water? Do they only infer and deduce it’s there?

Your question is a good one. Difficult but good.

In truth, we live in a sea of electro-chemical signals, including those our bodies produce. And to be a bit picky about your assertions about our limitations (inferred and deductive), we are not separate from those electro-chemical signals. We ARE in part literally those electro-chemical signals.

Said in other words, any attempt to practice “endophysics” has serious limitations. (See Otto E. Rossler’s brilliant 2001 book of this title.)

Much to think about here.

Thanks for the question.
