npub1tpj2xvh0cm7gsxlg6ry8tf7ca096k272rf7mzhjj9sea0ef500csf9fmcs (npub1tpj…fmcs) I saw a large and very prominent moon yesterday. I told my wife: look outside the moon is beautiful and bright tonight. Only today did I learn there's a supermoon.
The logical explanation is recency or selection bias here.
I was just wondering that when we perceive the size of the moon different than what is measured, we might perceive what is measured as small diff, amplified too. Our brain is clearly exaggerating the size, so could it be that it exaggerates size-differences too?
