It is the difference between what you ACTUALLY hear and what you THINK you hear.
Interesting statement.
What does it mean to actually hear something I don’t think I hear?
My dad has macular degeneration.
If I hold up an envelope to him and say, "What return address do you see, Dad", he will say, "It’s all a blur."
If I then add, "Ok, now what do you think you see, Dad?" He’ll say, "It’s all a blur."
If I then ask him, what’s the difference between what you actually see and what you think you see, he’ll say, "Please stop."
He really sees the blur he thinks he sees. I really see the address that I think I see. If I put it under a microscope, I would really see the pixels I think I see.
There is no independent access to "reality." There are just different components in different complex systems of experience.
Reality is a word that does no work.
