Looking through the human veil

Apparently, single-celled animals do not edit sense impressions. Donald E. Carr notes that "This is philosophically interesting in a rather mournful way, since it means that only the simplest animals perceive the universe as it is".

We, being complex of structure and mind, have to make do with our own interpretations. Where our senses fail us our minds attempt to plug the gaps. Perhaps it could be otherwise..

The joy of letting go and simply accepting nature and our world as it is without edits or add-ons, or even subtractions. The joy of a world where all is taken for what it is, has been, or could become. The joy of the whole, where reduction is a temptation resisted. The joy.
