[FRIAM] Being someone else

[Jochen Fromm]

It is fascinating that the biggest secrets are hidden in plain sight. Theaters and cinemas for example are places to surmount the insurmountable obstacles of space & time travel. They are devices to let you feel how it is like to be someone else in the past, present or future which solve easily the insolvable hard problem of consciousness. They are devices to show what might have been or what might will be, what others have done and what it is like to be someone else, whether Captain Cook or Captain Kirk.Andrew Miller, On Not Being Someone Else, Harvard University Press, 2022https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674271180-J.
