A good chunk of information that we receive from the outside world we don’t even consciously process. Our brain filters (or airbrushes) it out. So a lot of the world is processed super quickly and your attention isn’t directed at it. Some of this information comes together to create a ‘picture’ of something before we can consciously and deliberately do it. For example – you can form an impression of someone (that is pretty accurate) after only about 17 seconds!
