JITOTM05: Perplexing Perspectives

Looks can be deceiving: the way we see the world, and ourselves, is one of the most important and intriguing qualities of consciousness. Yet what we see and how we see is a lot more variable than you might think!

Men with mirrors, blindness turned to vision, and the bizarre mystery of the dog and the mailboxes are all highlights of this week's discussion... plus viewer mail, the song of the week and lots more in a new, longer and livelier episode.

Jay Ingram reflects on reflection and perspects on perspective in episode 5 of Jay Ingram's Theatre of the Mind, Perplexing Perspectives.

Behind the curtain:

• We quoted the book Mirror, Mirror by Mark Pendergrast.
  


• "I can't control my brain!" Our first Song of the Week was Brainard, by David Matheson, from his eponymous album.
  


• We got a comment from the blogger Evydense.
  


• Professor Stuart Anstis has come up twice now on the podcast.

Thanks for emailing your comments to podcast@jayingram.com.

We really read them, and we really respond.
