Thank you!

I think that no two realities are the same unless the sponsor of one is an oppressor. And even then, because the positions of oppressor and oppressed are so different, their perceived realities cannot be the same.

that is a very important thought - and certainly most true in politics, which is a rough and tumble arena

not to sound like i'm quibbling, but i do also hold a paradoxical view on things, in which we are simultaneously confined to a shared reality - the one the scientists or economists talk about

in this case, the difference of alternate worlds expresses as entropy or ahimsa or inflation...

this is why i love economics so much - it brings together alternate consciousnesses, and discusses shared or dissonant value(s) or reality(s) in silly mathematical terms

- in economics, we seek to satisfy ourselves that we are adequately escaping oppressions...

but essentially, your point is the most significant - although none of us is capable of huing to it absolutely, neither oppressing nor being oppressed to SOME degree, except perhaps in mind or consciousness

I agree that we. of necessity, share a perception of reality. But even that (scientific) view changes, and when paradigms shift, some people are ahead of the change while others lag. Heisenberg's world was not Einstein's which was not Newton's, which was not Galileo's, etc.

yes, it's all theory - none can stretch to encompass all
