ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Esthesic and poietic

Okay kiddo, have you ever drawn a picture or made a craft? That's called being poietic! It means creating something that didn't exist before, using your imagination and skills.

Now, have you ever seen a beautiful sunset or felt the soft texture of a blanket? That's called esthesic! It means experiencing something that makes you feel a certain way, whether it's happy, calm, or excited.

So poietic is about making things, and esthesic is about feeling things. They're both important ways we interact with the world around us!
