Echo chambers and reality.

My lived experience is entirely different from yours, and most people can agree on that.

Now, with technology and social media tracking our every move, our news feeds and ads are specifically tailored to us, which we might initially deem a good thing.

My world consists of sculpture. Your world might not have any connection with sculpture at all.

Does this mean we are living within different dimensions within one dimension of this physical world?

Could there be so many worlds operating within this one world? Groups of people who share the same interests could become one world, but expanding that to encompass every single individual on this planet, including animals and insects, if we want to be genuinely inclusive, perhaps even plants, would have their own interpretation of reality and their own experiences.

How can we begin to operate more cohesively when so many potential worlds collide simultaneously across the Earth, and perhaps further out into space?

I have already explored the idea that we have many versions of ourselves within ourselves that emerge at different points due to varying environmental changes.

So, how many worlds are currently operating? Now, this moment, this second that you're reading these words.

Digital worlds vs. physical worlds.

Personal worlds vs. collective cultural worlds.

Human worlds vs. nonhuman.

Perhaps the true art lies not in collapsing these worlds into one, but in learning to listen across them.

It's all open to interpretation.
