doublethink

Their proposition is that a brain or brain-like network can enter into a superposition—a state of doublethink in which you perceive the same particle both here and there—but only temporarily.

I was curious how others tolerate this doublethink, so I sought out Jeff Lichtman, a leader in the field of connectomics and a professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard.

But 70 years after Orwell wrote those words, doublethink seems to be winning.

It was an almost schizophrenic existence, and a few bizarre remnants of this doublethink still punctuate my life here.
