The correct answer is D. Our brains build their own version of reality based on what we’ve experienced and believe.
David Eagleman suggests that our brains are not impartial observers of reality; instead, they filter and interpret information based on past experiences, beliefs, and biases. This means that our perception of the world is shaped by various factors, leading us to construct a personal version of reality that may differ from objective truth. This inherent bias can influence our judgments, decisions, and interactions with others.
