every experience you've ever had was real but almost none of them imply what you think they imply nor do they imply what other people claimed they imply

usefully working with disagreements requires understanding that different people have different context and that this necessarily informs how they see things your view is as obviously wrong to them as theirs is to you https://t.co/dRgb18LzsB

the experience this woman had of a tree growing in her stomach was real. did it imply there was a literal tree made of literal wood in her literal belly? no. but it implied something important and moreover relevant to her being in the ER https://t.co/AgTyIYTbuI

case of psychosis that I think is representative of what psychosis is: there was a woman who came to the emergency room (with history of schizophrenia) claiming to have a tree growing in her abdomen, after being written off as crazy it was later discovered she had stomach cancer.
