”Share observations (not theories) of what it’s like to be you right now trying to look at this stuff. Do you have introspective access? Do you have sort of have introspective access, and in what way? Do you kind-of-like identify with it? Kind-of-like not-identify with it?”
Brilliant question, I take this question as “what is my introspective inner thought process while reading this”
I think I sorta just glossed over a lot of what you wrote. I found myself worried if you were going to lie or say the truth, in the talking to the cashier part. I think there’s also background stuff about how my day went, a bit of underlying stress. Thinking about whatever the mods are thinking while reading this comment, whether it will look badly on me if I misunderstand something, or another thing. There is something inside me as well, that I think I want to call “assuming im right” or “assuming the truth is valuable?”
Of course the truth is valuable. (or is it dun-dun) But I think valuing the truth can blind you in a way, how do you know what you think is the truth is actually true. I think I said that there because it sounds defensible, but I cant really articulate the vague feeling I have more than that
I have just read the other comments, to check them against my own, it seemed like everyone else took the question in a different way. Relating it to the story, not as literally, “what are you thinking right now”.
(h-hello mods)
