But I think ultimately You understand what the limitations are and you also fine-tune your eyes and your Understanding of the world to make sense of that thing, right? And now everyone knows that photoshopped is a verb that you can use to describe something that's manipulated, right? Um and you do that same exercise and you go biking time and you see the same When film just started to appear it was this story interesting story about One of the first films that were made is like a train arriving to a station And they were like projecting that on a room and when people saw the train coming to a station everyone run away because like They felt it was coming
