- toxik 6y agoTangentially at best, The Truman Show is great but there is complete theory of mind between all characters; there is just a big conspiracy. A real breakdown of theory of mind would mean that there is a breakdown in common understanding. Like with an animal, you don't have complete theory of mind with an animal, and it certainly does not with you -- there is an inability to account for the reasoning of a dog.
- Kim_Bruning 6y agoI think it is arguable that one could plausibly make a Documentary already! The way current social media and search engines optimize for engagement and tailor information to each user, people have really different views on the universe right now as is; and this has already had real-world consequences. (eg. corona-response, motivations for or against Brexit, etc. )
