Not a but
I'm under the weather this week. Trying to boost my spirits, this "thought" popped up:
When I'm feeling bad, I forget what it's like to feel good. I forget that I was feeling good just two days ago, and the last time I felt bad was only a few days. BUT: When I'm feeling good, I forget what it's like to feel awful.
NO, WAIT.
That's not a BUT. Not a paradox. It's the same rule.
Feeling good vs feeling awful are separate mental universes in some way, just as dreamtime vs waketime or sober vs drunk.
How does the brain keep these spaces separate? When does the brain decide to create a new space? How many spaces can we contain?
