Our brains are illusive!

I was just in the optical illusions subreddit (check it out, it's trippy). One of the comments hit me as being majorly relevant to ocd:

This subreddit confirms that our brains lie to us if they can’t work it out.

I realised many of the posts are based on info that our brains just make up because they can't interpret the image. They literally make up their own shit to fill in the gaps. Just like when we have no explanation for coincidences, our brains invent one. They lie to us.

That sub is good proof that we see things that aren't there. Pretty applicable to magical thinking, so thought I'd share
