You Never Have Direct Access to the World

You Only Have the Model Your Brain Constructs — And Joe Rogan #2403 Just Proved It

Andrew Gallimore just detonated a perception bomb on JRE #2403:

“You never have direct access to the world. You only have access to the model your brain is constructing.”

That’s not mysticism.

That’s Orientation…
That’s Col. John Boyd’s Real OODA sketch — on DMT and Rogan

WATCH: The REAL OODA Loop Explained: DMT, World Models & Joe Rogan #2403 (Andrew Gallimore)

Andrew Gallimore:

The brain is always constructing a model. It predicts the next frame of sensory data. If I move this water bottle — even with eyes closed — you know where it’ll be.

That’s your Bayesian brain running active inference. That is 100% Real OODA.

The Thatcher Effect:

1. Normal face → High-level model (Thatcher = familiar)

2. Upside-down face → High-level model weakens

3. Eyes & mouth flipped right-side up → Lower fragments look “normal”

4. Flip the whole image → High-level model screams: “DEMON!”

Proof: Your Orientation (world model) and perception (IG&C) filters everything.
No direct access. Ever.

“She looks like a demon.”

The Three Streams of “Control”

“I’m your environment, you are my environment.”

-John R. Boyd

Boyd didn’t just draw a cycle. He mapped information flow — the currency of living systems.

Unfolding Interaction, Circumstances, and Outside Information — the fuel of Boyd’s OODA sketch

Unfolding Interaction with the Environment

• Your actions ripple out, feedback ripples back.

• Thatcher example: You flip the image → environment responds → model updates.

• Real life: Publish a post → reader comments → refine your voice.

Unfolding Circumstances

• Others’ OODA loops reshape your battlefield.

• JRE example: Joe’s worldview vs. a friend’s “crazy” text.

• Macro: Market shifts, AI regs, or society finally seeing plant-medicine value.

Outside Information

• The Muse. Akashic Records. Cosmic download. DMT’s “reality switch.”

• Gallimore: Entities commandeer your brain, injecting novelty.

• Boyd: “Incomprehensibility” — one of nine features we can’t eliminate.
  Access via flow, breathwork, psychedelics, or Wim Hof cold exposure.
