so many dumbasses on here who don't understand what this picture is illustrating. all kinds of dumb ideas what it's about. here's what it's about. when you are perceiving something it's a chain of events. first there is the object itself. then there is for example light, traveling from the object to your eye. then the retina translates the light into a nerve signal. this nerve signal is transported through a nerve to the brain, and is there interpreted into an image in your mind. this means that what you are perceiving is not the object itself, it's just an image of the object, a percept. the world outside you never enters into your mind. you never actually see the world outside you, you only see the image your brain creates.
