 #### 2A Perceptions: Senses
 Personal mental and physical abilities, constraints, and biases.
 
 - Perception/sensation is the awareness of things changing. We can't perceive or sense things that aren't changing. 
-- Free will is mostly an illusion, but a nice one to keep.
-- Pure altruism is an illusion.
-- We are all building an incomplete model of the universe in our heads and usually operate under the assumption that this model is the real universe (it’s just easier that way).
+- Free will is mostly an illusion, but a nice one to keep because it is highly practical.
+- We are all building an incomplete model of the universe in our heads and usually operate under the assumption that this model is the real universe (again, it's practical).
 - Our mental model of the universe evolved so we could better predict and act on long-term threats and opportunities. 
 - The best way for our brains to model predictions is to create stories.
-- Consciousness is a stream of observer moments. 
-- Each observer moment is a static model of the universe captured in freeze frame, with a frozen picture of the past, present, future, and every concept. It gets updated anew each moment, along with a fading memory of past moments.
+- Consciousness receives a stream of observer moments and turns them into stories. 
+- Each observer moment is a static model of the universe captured in freeze frame, with a frozen model of the past, present, future, and every concept. It gets updated anew each moment, along with a fading memory of past moments.
 - Consciousness is the sensation of our mental model of the universe constantly changing itself to integrate new information.
 - Consciousness evolved to allow our mental model of the universe to examine, repair, and improve itself.
 - Playing lots of games (of any kind: video, board, card, other) will make us build more accurate models of the universe than people who don’t.
 - We can change our behavior and habits but it requires a ridiculous amount of energy.
-- Most of the time we don’t change ourselves, but are rather changed by other things. That doesn’t mean we can’t tell a story about how we changed ourselves, and believe it.
-- We create mental heuristics to reduce the amount of energy to retrieve, sort, and select from lists of likely possibilities.

+- We create mental heuristics to reduce the amount of energy to retrieve, sort, and select from lists of likely possibilities. 
 - The biproduct of mental heuristics is that we are biased at all times in proportion to the number of heuristics we use.
-- We tend to favor the beautiful, the reaffirming, and the expected.
-- We tend to attribute too much credit to success (and under-credit luck).
+- We are the sum of our biases.
