You are watching a movie metaphorically in all everyday experiences. The jitters allows you to see the frame rate, pause the movie between frames and break from the version of reality that you are trapped in by watching a movie.
This relates to rationality because the movie lies sometimes and seeing the truth of reality is way easier when you stop seeing the movie as reality.
Cognitive jitters is demonstrated in that gif. When reality flickers. Brains are designed to deliver experiences of permanence like solid objects. We live in a world where everything is impermanent.
While I look at solid objects and see them as solid, other realisations about which fundamental understandings are solid and which are not solid, have changed in my mind.
What words did you say to others to explain what cognitive jitter is?

I second this question!
