So the commentary, so to me, absurdity, like Salvador Dali and, you know, these kind of, you know, visual artists or video artists, and they kind of break apart the notion of what is reality or even AI generated video.

You know, there's a guy called Doopie Doo on Instagram, brilliant Russian video artist, hyper surreal, but like it looks, all the characters look very hyper real, but like super dream core,

And the way that things transform and morph and things of that nature are very, you know, it's like what we see in the dream state or it's like dream logic.

But seeing it so crisp and so clear is so jarring because it's like, oh, this looks like reality, but also this is in a way like how I wish reality looked in my waking life or something like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, you don't have to take things as face value.

I mean, I think the face value part of reality is like just to kind of function, to get through.

Like if you need to go to the store, it's like you need to, you know, use a road and, you know, get in a car and whatever or however you get there.

But like...

there's kind of like a functional practical nature of just like accepting things at face value but like but ultimately when we when we really contemplate existence things like that all the things that we do take for granted then you start to reformat and question like do i have to think of it this way or like or why do i think of it this way or you know every time someone says this or every time i see this i always think this that's an interesting question

That's interesting.

Why is that?

You know, and so I think questioning reality, you know, bumper sticker.

But like, you know, it's it's it's kind of like it's the bonus of being alive.

Like you you kind of realize you can ask these questions and that you can at any given point.

It's not a it's not a moment, you know, like last night I was talking to some friends.

Like, you know, I was like, you don't need to designate a time to meditate.

You don't need to designate a time to be thoughtful.

And you don't need it.

It's like this can happen at any time and it's happening all the time.
