runaway infinite consumption at all costs … aka … cancer

Your lungs have a scent when you exhale air … your brain filters out that smell … your senses know its there, your brain just ignores it - it’s all automatic

Same thing with the ‘taste’ of your mouth and saliva

Same thing with tinnitus … everyone has it to a degree … that little ringing in your hearing … your brain just filters it out

You have a natural blind spot right in the middle of your vision, the edges of your vision is also uneven and you can only accurately focus on about 10% of your sight in front of you … you brain just automatically makes you think that everything is in focus everywhere … the edges are never in focus … you move your sight to what you thought was edge, now its in the focused part and it makes you believe that everything was in focus the whole time … your brain just manipulates all this to make you think you have a clear focused vision 180 degrees in front of you … but really only about 10% is in focus and there is a black blind spot in the middle of it … your brain also automatically fills in that black spot every time

We have imperfect senses … our brain just plays tricks on us to make us think and believe that we have this awesome perfect sensory system … it isn’t perfect and it isn’t as great as we think it is.

Who’s the cheap one in this equation?

… the customer who is paying the owner of the restaurant for the food AND is obligated by social convention to pay extra to the waiter who is underpaid.

or

… the restaurant owner who doesn’t mind living in a world where we have normalized underpaying restaurant workers to the point where we pass down that responsibility to the customer who is already paying for the food.

Pay your workers a proper wage and get rid of the idea of tipping.
