>>11385842Try to be more specific. Which part do you want me to elaborate on? There's nothing magic about Helen Keller. She worked through behavior and belief and behaving around fictional reference points that aren't literally appearing to her as special unexplained phenomena as much as we do.
Also as long as you're on the topic of areas where normal biology breaks down (which I actually think is the best way to understand how these processes work; it's like figuring out a magic trick by seeing a magician fuck one up), consider the phenomenon of "face blindness" (prosopagnosia). We are compelled to believe when we look at a face we're "experiencing" something that we can note and remember with clarity and relate as belonging to a particular someone distinct from other someones in the world. But we know a lot of this is (useful) bullshit since when it breaks down people with perfect eyesight otherwise are unable to process faces. Looking at a face isn't a direct "experience" but instead a heavily managed system that compels us to believe things about reality that get us behaving in useful ways. And it's definitely not the only system like that the brain deals with.
