Another world
These final couple of days I’ve been focused on putting collectively a variety of “what if” demo. As in “what if such and such engineering, currently beyond our reach, truly existed?”
When I do something like this, a lot of it is smoke and mirrors. Soon after all, I am showing one thing that can’t genuinely exist appropriate now. But then a funny factor starts to take place.
After all, this other world that I’m conjuring up with my demo makes best sense, even if it can’t really be completely realized in 2011. So a part of my mind accepts that alternate world as genuine. It’s not that I literally feel it to be real, but rather that I emotionally accept it.
I’ve come to see my emotional suspension of disbelief as a required situation for giving a effective “what if” demo. It’s like any theatrical functionality. The actor on stage knows he is not Hamlet, and but a element of him should accept the emotional reality of the Prince of Denmark and the dark alternatives he faces.
How great it is that we have this potential to retain many realities in our heads at the exact same time. And that often — when every thing is functioning proper — we can invite others to come along with us into yet another globe.
