Abnormal Cognitive Interview Record
By Jimmy Wang
Some people are called mad simply because they perceive a world that most others choose to ignore.
What if reality is not an objective truth, but merely a shared agreement?
In Observer Bias, Jimmy Wang explores the profound limits of human cognition. Over six years, he conducted hundreds of interviews, ultimately selecting 40 individuals labeled as cognitively abnormal to complete the book. These included schizophrenics, synesthetes, dissociative thinkers, and those living on the fringes of what society defines as normal.
Among them are people who:
- Hear emotions hidden inside minerals
- Believe time does not move linearly
- Live complete second lives inside recurring dreams
- Interpret reality as a shared consciousness system
- Use mathematical structures to see higher dimensions
- Believe language itself can alter reality
At first, their ideas sound absurd.
Then disturbing.
Then strangely familiar.
And eventually, you may begin asking yourself:
What if their logic is internally consistent?
This is not a sensationalized collection of crazy stories.
The author does not mock, romanticize, or aggressively diagnose his subjects. Instead, he listens carefully and documents how these individuals construct their own realities - realities that, while unconventional, often possess unsettling internal coherence.
Alongside these interviews, the book explores:
- Psychology and psychoanalysis
- Neuroscience and perception
- Consciousness studies
- Cognitive science
- Philosophy of reality
- The fragile nature of consensus belief
As you read, you may experience a gradual psychological shift:
First, you reject these people.
Then, you fear them.
Then, you begin to understand them.
And finally, you remember moments when reality itself once felt unstable to you.
Perhaps during insomnia.
Exhaustion.
Dreams.
Or moments of profound loneliness.
Most people quickly return to consensus reality.
The people in this book did not.
Inside these pages, you will encounter:
- An artist who hears colors
- An engineer who sees the universe as mathematics
- A poet convinced language reshapes existence
- A programmer who views consciousness as a networked system
Each chapter is a complete universe.
Each delusion contains its own terrifying logic.
And the deeper question the book asks is:
If a worldview is coherent, stable, and meaningful to the person experiencing it - what truly defines sanity?
At its core, Observer Bias is not a book about madness.
It is a book about reality itself.
About perception.
About the invisible boundaries of human thought.
This book will not give you answers.
It will leave a crack in your certainty.
And sometimes, cracks are where new ways of thinking begin.
Perfect for readers interested in:
- Psychology and altered states of mind
- Consciousness and cognitive science
- Philosophy and existential thought
- Deep interview-based nonfiction
- Reality, perception, and human cognition
- Unsettling books that linger long after reading
I did not write these interviews to prove who is insane.
I wrote them to document one simple truth: human understanding of reality is far narrower than we believe.
- Jimmy Wang
Prepare to question everything you once considered normal.
Step into Observer Bias and confront the terrifying possibility that reality itself may only be a shared agreement.
