This applies to humans as well. We view the world through the lens of our past experiences and the language(s) we have to reflect on those experiences. On broad terms we have “consensus reality” (which is frequently confused with “objectivity”) most people agree on but seeing as there isn’t an universal language that perfectly captures human experience, we do live in subtly different realities. Or sometimes dramatically different ones.
I always wondered if the shape and size of your ears and nose etc change the way you register smells and hear sounds. Like your hearing isn’t the same as the person next to you etc.
Sort of like how different radar arrays are shaped different and pick up different frequencies differently etc.
i’m lookin at my roomies dog and if his ‘world’ is 90% smells and mine is 90% visuals, we aren’t even living in the same reality, yeah?
it’s kind of a trip to think that there isn’t just one ‘real’ world sitting out there, just a bunch of different versions depending on whos looking
