I think you're projecting far too much into your experience at that point, though.

And I think it's key that what you don't hear is often based on your own choices for your own sources of information, so not only does it reflect reading something into what's not there, but also more fundamentally, choices that create that experiential void in the first place.

So it's kind of doubly reflecting your own situation rather than the world outside.
