Ali Delshad is an author, researcher, and entrepreneur whose work lies at the intersection of philosophy, neuroscience, and technology. His writings and activities explore profound layers of human perception, cognition, and agency, employing rigorous scientific analysis, philosophical insight, and a commitment to disruptive questioning. Delshad has founded multiple international companies and projects, and has extensive experience living and working across diverse cultural contexts. Instead of offering definitive answers, his writings and projects aim to open spaces for fundamental questions—questions concerning consciousness, reality, meaning, and identity—grounded in scientific evidence, cultural genealogy, and a multi-dimensional understanding of the human condition. This book reopens the experience of the individual. What we call reality is not a mere reflection of the external world, but an inner construct shaped within the brain and mind. Here, fundamental concepts such as perception, memory, pleasure and suffering, will, consciousness, and death are revisited in the light of neuroscience findings and philosophical reflection. The text demonstrates how biological, cultural, and lived backgrounds intertwine with the brain’s predictive mechanisms, continuously reconstructing the world we experience in every moment. This work seeks to provide intellectual coherence through the fusion of science and philosophy, offering a perspective in which reality emerges not as self-evident or uniform, but as a dynamic and interpretable process. In this book, the individual experience gives way to an intersubjective horizon. What we call truth is not a timeless essence, but the product of interactions and coexistence of minds within the frameworks of language, culture, and social institutions. Concepts such as freedom, justice, religion, ideology, and development are not fixed; they are living, historical constructs continuously redefined in the tension between bodily existence, power, and narrative. Drawing on contemporary neuroscience and analytical as well as critical philosophy, the text reassesses these concepts and shows that truth, like reality, is not raw data but a process emerging from the interweaving of minds and collective structures.
