things aside, but can you emote?
can you hold a conversation about obscure topics?
do you hold cancellable opinions close?
do you feel deeply about anything?
do you often think about what-ifs or alternate histories?
can you place yourself in 1799 and imagine what it was to be in the shoes of Napoleon? can you place yourself when he was at the St Helena?
can you even go further in the past and think like the Mongols?
can you mimic the world-view they had?
can you imagine a life without religions and borders?
can you then contrast it with the lives we have today?
can you come in terms that this world we live in is a living organism?
the games we play and the races we run, have been in place since we lived in caves - only the outcomes differs today - the feeling of getting that prize is still the same?
it feels no different to create something using a tool today than to hunt a deer with a spear in the past?
can you?
