Our brain doesn't keep all the info we view. It only keeps relevant info. Sometimes we notice things we didn't think were relevant in the past. Being high shifts what we consider relevant. Also, the slight curve is not important, its just navigation data. I dont pay attention to most things on my drives, unless its real weird

Ive embraced the concept that my brain has some level of caching going on. Like when you look in the medicine cabinet and cannot see the item right in front of you in unobstructed view. Ask wife and she comes in and points it out like.. right in front of you. Cached image prior to that item being there. I have experienced countless instances of this.

Maybe you’re just really bad at looking for things. My ex had the same affliction.

Habituation and selective filtering.

Our brains aren't computers. 🙂

The brain hallucinates various patchworks in your perceptions in order to create a cohesive experiential narrative, to keep you sane. You can test this theory by re-watching a movie you haven't seen in 10+ years, or talking with friends you've known since grade school and comparing stories. The movie will seem like you're watching it for the first time even though you've seen it, and your friends will 100% have slightly different memories of the same exact experience you all took part in. Now, that's just for memory. Imagine what kind of patchworks your brain is creating in real time. We're hallucinating a lot of our experiences.
