Yes! This is an intriguing idea that Ed Yong uses in "An Immense World". His examples may be extreme, but it seems logical that variations across human brain architectures would also lead to variations in "world models" built on our personal perceptions.

It’s been amazing to see so many of us get more involved in scicomm. I was just exchanging notes with @srheilbronner.bsky.social at SFN, hearing about what has led to the tremendous success of the Science Homecoming effort.

Great post in Mastadon! There's a nice complementary perspective for yours, Nicole, in a classic book (see below) that I managed to snag. (I think @dickretired.bsky.social commented on the original post.)

With the Epstein emails at a new fever pitch, please read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s 2022 “They Knew” (as well as her prolific other writings) — it is a window into the past about things that seem only to be “discovered” now. Strongly recommend, I owe a lot to her thinking/writing.
