The Algorithmic Plato's Cave: Why We Perceive Different Realities

This video isn’t about people being bad. It’s about people perceiving different worlds. When something falls outside a person’s perceptual training, it often isn’t evaluated as content at all — it’s evaluated as otherness. That applies to music, language, food, politics, culture, and even people. Using personal musical anecdotes, cultural examples, and well-established research from neuroscience, developmental psychology, and evolutionary psychology, I explore how perceptual conditioning shapes what we are even capable of hearing, seeing, or recognizing as meaningful. This includes: • Cultural epistemology and cultural neuroscience • The Behavioral Immune System and disgust sensitivity • Why unfamiliar sounds, ideas, or identities can feel “wrong” rather than merely unfamiliar • Hubel & Wiesel’s Nobel Prize–winning work on perceptual development • Why explanation and debate often fail before they even begin • Plato’s Cave — and what it looks like in an algorithmic world This video is not about prescribing solutions or telling people how to think or behave. It’s about describing the terrain we’re actually navigating — where disagreement often PRECEDES language, reason, or values, and instead begins at the level of perception itself. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, dismissed, or told you were “over-explaining,” this may offer a different way of understanding what’s happening — without moralizing it.
