The topic is just as the title says. It is clear that Experiences influence and shape perception, and I am making this thread because someone in social chat seemed to believe that this did not apply to them, which can only be said by someone that does not have interest in the brain and how it works.

We are conditioned since birth through our experiences, and this is what determines how we think and overall who we are as we age. We do not see reality, we see our version of reality which is created when the vibrational and pressure signals of our surroundings (reality) are picked up by our senses and interpreted by the brain (our reality). I think of this as our perception filter.


Does anyone think differently? I am interested in feedback (criticism as well).
