“And we have a social brain in that this organ is now construed as malleable, open to, and shaped by, social interactions – shaping sociality as it is itself reshaped by it.”
Looking into the mirror
I can see the faces of the world
staring back at me.
I am because of them,
I have grown into the creation you see before you
through the dependency of absent thought.
You are, because of me.
My thoughts have been shaped
and molded to create the reality I perceive.
Could this, truly, be MY reality?
Have you not shared a glimpse into your own mind?
Unwittingly you have become
my mentor, my voice, my mind.
Together through the abyss
our minds touch,
through the conscious and unconscious,
shaping each other into the void.
Look into the mirror,
see me staring back at you…
Let us be alone together in this shared reality.
