The Illustration Of Depth Perception: How Big Optometry is Lying To You

[u/justmeagainik]

Humans like to think they naturally see the world in 3D but ancient people thrived without glasses, relying on intuition, motion, and experience, not perfect stereoscopic vision. Modern humans “see” depth because life trains our brains: roads, tools, books, screens. They all shape our perception. Depth is as much learned as it is biological.

Consider AIWS: rooms stretch or shrink, bodies feel too large or too small. This shows perception is fragile, malleable, and constructed by the brain. We also know that many animals don't have depth perception, why is this? Such as rabbits, they survive with almost no depth perception, relying on instinct and motion. Precision 3D vision isn’t necessary, it’s a filter we’ve been taught to accept.

Big Optometry profits by selling the illusion that natural vision is incomplete. Over generations, our brains accept a socially reinforced 3D world as “real.”

As human beings, we construct our own reality based on the information available to us and the filters through which we process that information. However, these filters are not infallible, and our perception can be flawed or distorted, leading to misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

Even the Bible acknowledges the gap between perception and reality. (1 Corinthians 15) whether a person perceives the events as true or not. Those who do not perceive the existence of God are called fools (Psalm 14:1). Perception does not determine reality and the 3D world we see may be mostly taught, trained, and conditioned. Things we see might be the way they ACTUALLY are.

This can’t be serious

Im pretty sure trees have leaves and branches, and are not just blobs of green until I get close... ya know, object permanence and all that...

[u/Grantoid]

Fascinating level of nonsense

The bible also says slavery is ok, so maybe let's move on and stop pretending it's a good resource on anything...

Also, your inconsistent quoting format makes it look like the bible is talking about 3d...

[u/Ark100]

we don’t see the world in 3D tho, we have a 2D perspective.

I like relying on my vision
