I think you’re giving that poorly-worded tumblr post too much credit. I really don’t think they’re comparable “oversights” for our own sanity. The knowledge that we shouldn’t bite our finger or the muscle memory/reflexes not to do it is not the same as “noise cancelling” stomach acid/ignoring your nose, and that’s not the same as time moving slower if we’re waiting on something we’re focusing on. Those are certainly 4 distinct mental phenomena. I guess the point of “our perceptions shape the life we experience” is a thought, but they express that very poorly.
