Theincredibly insightfulanimated seriesKurzgesagtexplains how the human brain edits time and space on a completely different plane, constructing a predictive reality of things that happen during the day. Because of this anticipation, the brain cumulatively blinds us for two hours every day.

Yourconscious experience is nothingmore than an invented future, a prediction based on the information yourbrain received a fraction of a second ago. ...Every moment you experience is a prediction by your brain. It edits time, fabricates a present that never existed, and makes decisions before you choose.' It tells you a story about the world that feels real.
