Well this one hit home. I believe this is the sentiment I was trying to explain to people back in school, my "South to North" journey, and then again when going from Virgina/Carolinas to living in NJ. My wife sure as heck doesn't get it.
Yes, the noise self-calibrates. Then you get jarred when your environment changes. For me, I still remember what it was growing up Southern. The different driving environments between NJ, Boston, and Virginia are wonderfully illustrative. They're different, not in a good or bad way necessarily, but different. They reflect the culture(s).
Oh..."I grok" means "I thoroughly understand at the deepest level." It's from Heinlein's novel where he made up the word, where alien cultures collide and try to understand one another.

Anyway, thanks for putting it in words. I grok.
"I grok.", therefore I am?
Might be true, I'm more confident that "I don't grok" or no perception at all means "I am not." I am a Stranger in a Strange Land.
More specifically, I wasn't understanding the hanging "I grok." at the end of your original comment.

Okay, got it! That, I believe, is where Elon got the name from.
