Quite a read.
Really unsettling yet exciting at the same time.

Brings a new meaning to 'connected'! I love the explanation of the fish in the tank, shades of Douglas Adams!
Fascinating Southside of the sky, thanks very much for posting it.

There is also a very educated theory that vision is nothing more than a controlled hallucination. We can't actually see everything that's going on around us. If we did, we'd go mental. So our brains lock on only to certain items that fit recognizeable patterns and just register that.
Can't find a link at present, but one of the proponets of this idea was Dr. Susan Blackmore. I did find this article on consciousness as an illusion:
