Joscha, who is responsible for that lock? And do you truly believe that your independent reality is that singular?

I suspect that impostor syndrome is a second generation phenomenon: you realize that you don’t know what you are doing, and your supervisor also does not know what they are doing

However, you have participated in consensus cultures, perhaps they were just fringe enough for you to perceive them as independent.

I am most comfortable in cultures where people notice that they perceive reality in different ways and each mind has to meet the universe in its own, unique conquest
