October 24, 2020
SUMMARY:
The dialogue discusses the nature of reality and the subjective perception of it. It focuses on how norms and social consensus define what we consider real. It highlights the importance of expanding personal vision and making our perspectives useful and practical for the common good. It also mentions how racism and other prejudices arise from fear of the unknown and resistance to change. Ultimately, Matias emphasizes that we are the creators of our own reality through imagination and action.
