Before you look, an electron doesn’t exist.
That’s the whole point.
If you look at it this way, it’s an electron. But there are tens of thousands of other particles it could be, depending on how you compress reality.
A bat and a ball cost €1.10 together.
The bat costs €1 more than the ball.
How much does the ball cost?
In real life, the answer here is 10 cents, if you hear the question in a normal way.
This is a cheap trick, and yes—technically—the correct answer is 5 cents.
Normally, the calculation people implicitly make is this:
10 euro cents + 1 euro = €1.10
So why does the brain do this?
It has nothing to do with survival.
The reason is that the brain is doing billions of things at the same time. If it had to stop and carefully think about everything it does, you literally wouldn’t be able to take a single step. You’d constantly be asking yourself, “Wait… how do I move my leg again?”
So you have to make choices about where to stop and spend extra energy on thinking—and where not to.
