The world shows up for us, but, as Alva Noe contends in his latest exploration of the problem of consciousness, it doesn't show up for free. We must show up, too, and bring along what knowledge and skills we've cultivated. As with a painting in a gallery, the world has no meaning-no presence to be experienced-apart from our able engagement with it.
