I wish it was possible to record the full experience that someone goes through in a day. I dont mean just recording the visual and auditory sound that they experience, but the emotions and the thoughts as well. All those impulses, all those triggers and feelings.
If I could show someone what it was like to be in my shoes, to fully be in my shoes, I feel like they would understand. They probably would be disgusted that they ever climbed to that level of existence and feel so glad that they dont live like that.
I know its going to be more and more possible in the future, after all one day it wasnt possible to capture the moment in a picture.

I know what you mean, people fear what they don’t understand and are rude about it, but if they could understand they might be more accepting.

O.O
Amazing project.
Thank you very much for this info.
I’ve always wanted to interview my oldest daughter. She is amazing. I’d like to interview her about the struggles of a 9 year old obese child moving to Texas. She had it really tough for the first year here. It would be an amazing story and just be a little slice of Texas.
I was talking about actually experiencing what they experience not reading a story about how they describe it in words.
Yes I know. My bad. It is actually them talking. But yes. I just thought maybe it would be interesting for you to see that there really is a project out there that although not in brain uploadable form, certainly is in the spirit of what you are talking about.
I’m just kind of blerting shit out tonight. I’m sorry. I’m on a really hard core upcycle and I’m really trying hard to not comment around here. I really like your idea.
Don’t worry it’s all good. I know that society tries to share experiences. It’s like those news stories you sometimes see. I have just felt that they always had a filter to them or theme. Like they always try to remain positive, have one view or else it doesn’t get published.
What I’m talking about is experiencing the actual emotions that go through the people’s mind. Like if it’s a story where someone went crazy and did something violent you feel the pain of the victim. You would also feel the state of mind of the person who committed the act too so you would understand why someone would do something like that instead of just casting them aside as a psychopath
I like this idea very much, a way to help tune empathetic responses to one another, or one step closer to experiencing a sense of shared collective consciousness. Maybe in the future, a higher more evolved version of our species will reflect in pity on us knuckle-draggers, still bumbling through life, trapped in each, our own individual perception of the world.
