"How can two people, in the same place at the same time, perceive completely different worlds?"

What a post.

So many threads tying together as I read it, so many interesting projects and people (and photos). I'll have to read it again and still need to watch the video but wanted to respond right off because: It is inspiring to see these questions articulated and addressed as they are in this post and by those who are part of it.

What Bryce Heubner says about the embodied wholeness of how we might understand your question above really resonates. Also, Gracefire and this way of discussing neurotechnology is refreshing in these times, a healthy holding of the paradox. Kuhlmann's work and the Piece of Mind collective is an inspiring template for how we might reimagine academia in everyday life...It makes me think of how our creations (our books, movies, etc) are ways we try and 'share our embodiment' with others, ways we start to understand this same starting question above...

Our technologies at their best could do this too? In grad school I was fascinated by this project The Machine to be Another (https://beanotherlab.org/home/work/tmtba/) which tries to do this virtually, and I still think about how technologies might be ways we can better experience our multiplicities.
