They also explored the evolutionary significance of the human brain's filtering mechanism and its role in lying, with Cass explaining how the brain becomes desensitized to repeated lying. Lastly, they used the midlife crisis as a metaphor for the loss of color in one's perception of life and suggested that taking breaks can help prevent this.
