By deploying the brain’s ability to compress information and think abstractly, humans are the only animals on the planet who can simply make things up, agree on them as a group, and they become real. This “social reality” is a superpower that gives us far more control over reality than we might think."Reality," phenomenal that is, is subjective constructed socially and layered on physicality. The Author explains how happens through "the Five Cs: creativity, communication, copying,...
