Proximity Affects Perception: How Context Shapes Reality


Listen Later

💬 Quote from the episode:“How clean are your floors today? I guess it depends on how they look. Wouldn’t you say?”
Host: Nicholas Wade Kimps | DIVO-Ted Talks

Description:
In this quietly transformative episode, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores how our perceptions are often shaped not by truth, but by proximity—what (and who) we stand closest to. From waxed studio floors to sports team rivalries and tribal identity, Nicholas asks: What if how we see the world has more to do with context than content?

This episode explores:

  • Why appearances can be deceiving

  • How environments and relationships alter perception

  • The Ayurvedic and yogic principle of seeing clearly

  • Tribalism and the illusion of separateness

  • How to zoom out and regain perspective
