The narrator said something about "All these frogs know about the Khalahari is that it's a wetland paradise." The problem with that is that obviously it isn't a wetland paradise. But if your only experience with a place is the 1% of goodness that it has, what does that say about your reality? What if heaven is like that, you sleep in the mud for like 4 years and then for 2 weeks you pop up, hang out and then go back?

I'm grasping at an idea here, that of altered reality based on referential experience. There's no downside for these frogs. All they know of reality is that it's wet, there are plenty of locusts and they get lots of sex. But they sleep for probably 90-95% of their lives. Is that a good thing? And by good thing, I mean in a human cognitive sense, not a frog sense. Clearly, it's good for them but if you could sleep for 90% of your life and the 10% of your life that you are awake, you're in paradise, would you do it?

Also, how does our view on reality affect our reality? If we think that the world is against us, don't we start to see enemies everywhere? I think this is a bigger concept than I can grasp right now since I'm trying to tie two SQL table together and display them for the user in my head. . .
