Like, for example, i went to a movie the other day called everything, everywhere, all at once. And this was a great film. I highly recommend it. Ah, for anyone who wants a good watch. It's got like 96 on rotten tomatoes. And anyways, it's actually relevant to ourcon ation, cause the theme of the movie is a, you cank imagine yourself into the multi verse, into other versions of yourselfah, but anyways, it was entertaining because i was in the movie, right? I totally forgot that i was sitting in the movie theatre. I was full immersed in what i was watching. So i was like feeling what the characters were feeling. And am you know that that's what makes it entertaining, is that we get so involved for that time. But then obviously, when the credits roll, you're able to unplug yourself, like you said, and it's almost like we've tried on the facts, we've on that reality like like a dress or something. And then, you know, you u ere able to kind of take it off afterwards, but some of the message still sticks somehow. Um. And then you know how this relates also to meditation. And mental training practice, where a lot of the traditions have different practices of mental alization, where the the, you know, your body, to some extent, can't tell the difference between an imagined scenario and the real thing. And that, you know, an obvious, kind of crude example of this is like a sexual fantasy where you become aroused, but u you know, in the meditation realm, this would be imagining yourself no sending compassion to some one, or giving them a hug, and then generating that feeling of love, as if you 're really there with them a and there's, in the tibetan practices, they take this to an extreme, where they can imagine themselves as like deities with perfect, perfected human qualities, and then they start to become that person. And then i think method actors like the joker, a heath ledger, who just went too deep into his character and couldn't pull himself out. So maybe that's the next thing i want to ask you about, is it seems like this, this fiction, for some people, it becomes too real, or it becomes, you know, like someone who's spending too much of their life in a video game, or a method actor who just goes too deep into the roll.
