Interesting subject. I tried some psychadelic mushrooms and when I was high, numbers and letters were losing their meaning. Like the shape didnt mean anything when Id look at it. Man it was hard to pay for my movie that night at the theater lol. A $5 bill didnt mean 5 to me, i just saw it like a foreign language. Just a shape now.
Nice! Great video but the way you explain it pre-supposes mental representations of objects that something in the world maps onto. I would have liked to hear about how we sort the world into discrete objects in the first place? also, why do we perceive cups and mugs as semantically similar but still belonging to distinct classes (although related) of objects?
