Multi-Verses!

We live in the analog world.  And we live in our imaginative world.  And we live in our digital world.  Three realms.  Sometimes they all seem equally valid and real.  And sometimes not.  Maybe there's more worlds too, but I see three at the moment.


The digital is the newest, the analog is the oldest, the imaginative is the most pliable.  We can juggle these worlds, we multi-task, we multi-reality.  Sometimes these worlds cross, or bleed into one from the other.  We can use the tools of one and apply them to the others.


And sometimes we realize that there are some things that are only valid and real in one particular realm, that don't, or can't, bleed into another.  We multiply ourselves to match these realms.  We live inside multiple copies of ourselves.


We are a fractured puzzle of multiple worlds, multiple selves.  We multi-task in much deeper way than we even know.  This either makes "reality" so much more real, or so much less real.   Or maybe both. Or maybe reality isn't really what we think it is, or maybe it's more than what we think it is...


 Not sure which, not even sure this is the right way to think about the question... and what exactly is the question?  Multi-verses!
