I demand a Christmas present if you’ve enjoyed my artisanal tweeting this year. 2 things I am looking for: A) Examples of abstraction leaks (eg “deja vu” scene in The Matrix) B) Examples of fictional/mythological worlds where time flows faster/slower (eg inception dream levels)

Related to deja vu, I've noticed there is a almost Sartrean nausea that people will experience when they learn that something they had taken for granted as their own experienced memory is actually an internalized recollection of a story told about you by someone else.

For example, stories your mother tells you about your own childhood. At some point (maybe some specific drugs are involved) you might realize that you don't remember what happened when you were 4 years old, you remember your mom telling you what happened.

I think that's a cousin of Deja Vu. Another kind of leak in the memory abstraction.
