    This introduces the possibility that we’re experiencing 2 universes and creating a third within ourselves.

      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.

        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.

        Mr. Robot and Counterpart did things to my brain questioning reality.

          Yeah, it’s a pretty good series. It was based on a novel AND they managed to get the novel writer to be the Showrunner. It’s a double edged sword too, based on the discussions that I’ve read, all of the criticisms for the novel also applies to the series as it’s a very faithful adaptation.
