Whatever this phenomenon is and the biology/physics behind it, it's just *weird*.

"the world is continuous, but the mind is discrete"

I'm not sure this function should be continuous and not discrete (as a step function)

People like either 'hot' or 'cold' tea

They can enjoy 'lukewarm' tea (but less)

And really hot tea is not enjoyable to varying degrees

I don't think you can tell the difference between X-degree tea and (X+1)-degree tea for any value of X though (except 0 and 99 of course)? So it seems clearly very continuous to me.

Think he meant that that’s why it’s discrete. X, x+1, x+2 are all x.

So chart would be a bar chart with ~5 values:

Freezing, cold, luke warm, hot, boiling.

Although not sure if this makes it easier to understand the phenomena.
