[00:00:02]Your brain, and mine too, exaggerates differences that aren't that large.

[00:00:10]The brain is designed to detect differences, but it often amplifies what it sees.

[00:00:17]Small variations become meaningful distinctions.

[00:00:22]Over time, repeated categorization makes those differences feel larger than they actually are.

[00:00:32]This is how perception drifts from reality.

[00:00:37]What feels significant isn't always significant.
