What if the very fabric of reality between individuals is different?

 What if the very way a person perceives their existence varies far more than we ever considered?

By that, somewhat convoluted, question I need to ask if you could talk to someone's mind and experience their thought processes, might they vastly different than yours? I have been thinking about this for a long time as I find myself considering why people behave the way they do. Especially when they are unhappy and yet refuse to change their ways even when given explicit information and avenues out of their situation. I've met people with such vastly different perceptions of the world and ways of going about their daily lives, that I'm beginning to read the question the the supposed "shared human experience"great it might go a long way to explaining the vast differences between people. I'm considering this way down at the fundamentals of the thought process.

If those fundamental building blocks of our reality are in themselves remarkably diverse and unique to each person, then indeed we are all aliens and only normal in the truest sense in relation to our own perceptions.

It is a very intriguing question, and I suspect one that we will ultimately have the answer to. The way technology is evolving I am sure that we will get to a stage where we can begin to decode the millions of impulses of the brain and really look at the fundamental inner workings. I hope to be around to see that, indeed to experience it. Imagine being able to "plug-ins your best friends head". Could you comprehend what you found there? With the way of processing experience be so different, or would it be something familiar.

I hope the technologies which are developed in this regard don't do too much translation, I think there's a lot to be learned from the raw experience. The very things that make us different may indeed be the best teachers.

For those of you that like things in video format. Here's me talking about this very issue. Although things have occurred to me well up in writing this text and things occurred to me while I was doing the video. So like the article each has its own point of view, for lack of a better phrase. Enjoy the differences

Take care Patrick
