I used to think the "here and now" was just a cliché – until i realised i was experiencing it.

Panoramic perception evolved to recognise movements and changes, actually happening, here and now. Focusing is by definition selective. At best, we can only focus on a specific part of what is here and now.

But the underlying difference is that it's not possible to want anything with panoramic awareness.

Vulnerable animals have to be free of any specific focal point, in order to be aware of as much as possible.

Predators combine their focused and panoramic abilities. They hunt for and want prey. This activity is based on focusing.
