Your brain is lazy.
It makes shortcuts to understand the deluge of information that bombards it daily.
If you’re presented with consistent information, consistently, your brain adjust its expectations of reality in turn.
This is the basis of Bayesian theories of how we perceive the world – that is,
the brain makes inferences about the world around us based on statistics and probabilities on what is likely to occur.

Could this be WHY we are bombarded, by the media, of how big the chunks are, that are now cascading from the sky?

That is why I stay away from the insistent shelling.

My nephew made comment to me that the world has changed now that we have CV19 in our midst. I told him no it has not, it is your false impression that you picked up from the 24/7 news cycle on it. Nothing more
