A note on the irrelevance of probabilistic irrelevance

skilful engagement. When you perceive an event unfolding, it is not as if you occupy a dimensionless point of observation. You live through an event by coupling with it. What you experience is the event, as it plays out in time. You experience the singer's song, and the ball player's play, and the dancer's dance, by tracking what they do over time. The very experience is a world-involving achievement of control and attention.1
