This final section of the mini-series is short in length but deep in importance. Damir explains how societal changes globally illustrates to the brain-wise observer how our systems of perception are products of our implicit systems of prediction. These come from our memory systems and a lifetime of experiences. In other words, believing is perceiving.
Extraneous events unfolding in the world continue to display how there are those that can tolerate and integrate new information that may clash with the internal models of experience and perception. Otherwise, there are those that assume a more dogmatic position when new experiences challenge these dogmatic models of the world. The resources to adapt and create new models is compromised resulting in extreme, divisive and dominating reactions. This is a place whereby we see the amplification of bifurcation, the sophistication of nuance is lost and diversity is compromised. The powerful 'elite', with the mouthpiece of the legacy media and big tech can then colonise* your brains, dominate your perception and infiltrate your reality.
*Colonisation = Claiming that something is an empty space, then the colonisers fill it with their values (Vandana Shiva).
