There’s this idea I keep returning to: that reality, as we perceive it, is a hallucination. A shared, adaptive hallucination. Our senses don’t give us truth—they give us usefulness. The way a bat “sees” with sonar or a fish senses electric fields—those are real to them. We just get the human version. Filtered. Trimmed. Functional. […]
Between 2016 and 2018, NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) detected unusual radio pulses originating from beneath Antarctica’s ice. These signals appeared to come from below the horizon, contradicting expectations that they should reflect off the ice surface.

As for me, I am satisfied with my job at the moment. I am still improving my history-teaching skills and the middle school is the perfect place for this. My future plan is to go to a high-school someday because the academic expectations are higher, so I can connect to my subject at a deeper […]
