After millennia of evolutionary development, mammals added the ability to experience that mental model, allowing for 24x7 recursive layering of the chunks of reality. The biggest chunk is "you".

The sense-data and external reality of "minds in machines" is tiny and narrow in comparison.

Somehow these false turkey-tail mushrooms have turned green!

A bunch of false turkey-tail mushrooms looking like seashells on a log. Some are the normal white color, but many have a green color like they have moss growing on them.

The clouds and the Sun put on a beautiful show yesterday but left enough blue to qualify for a #BlueSkyMonday. An atmospheric Milky Way!

Clouds cover most of the sky with the sun shining through. A line of trees can be seen at the bottom.

Part of the skyline of Philadelphia, with a glimpse of the Schuylkill River, and lots of traffic.

You can see the Philadelphia skyline in the background, and the Schuylkill River. On the right you can see a traffic jam going into Philadelphia on the Schuylkill Expressway. In the foreground you can see traffic stopped on Girard Avenue.
