Most of concepts that we assume are intrinsic to reality (like color and sound pitch, or even the feeling of hot and cold) are just our brain interpreting small fragments of physical reality, and then filling in the blanks. Your world is your own creation.
you don’t see that there’s a thing across the place. you sense that the light that came from it hit your eye. you sense literally only things you interact with directly.
You don’t even sense the things you touch directly. You sense atoms in your body being pushed by the atoms in the thing because the electrons get close to each other
Oh! I’ll have to watch that. Hadn’t realized Apple toys with this theme quite a bit. Constellation had so much promise but it flamed out for me. Severance might be tangentially related with the theme, compartmentalized lives, being equally fascinating.

This is both a terrifying and astonishing thought.
Fuck, I just finished Dark Matter and don’t get me started on branching realities.
