So if everything we see is just an image created by our brains inside of our heads, what does the actual world really look like?

It doesn't look like anything you moron, since looking is a perspective, which differs based upon what radiation your organ uses to see. Case in point, thermal vision looks different from visable light vision.

Its tits upon tits. Massive breasts all over the place.

Well you need to be able to visualize something at one scale being provable as not deterministic while at another scale reliably provable as deterministic.

Your brain is operating in the deterministic bit

It doesn't matter, we can still use it to make useful deductions and inferences about reality. If we couldn't we wouldn't be sitting here posting crap on 4chan.

the idea of what something looks like is a human construct.
The world is really just countless motes of quivering energy. Sight is just one way of measuring it, and all sight really is is the pattern and frequency of a certain band of radiowaves bouncing off stuff. An alien species with visual receptors tuned to a different frequency, or even a colour blind person, will see the world completely differently to you

Salt.

>>12514448
It does. For instance, some surfaces reflect thermal radiation giving them a "false value", while others that are opaque in the visable spectrum are translucent in thermal.
