Main entry

  1. Life revolves around you

    / All events revolve around you / All events that occur while a particular person exists occur within that person / All events that occur while a particular person exists are part of "life" / in life (motif) / in our lives (motif) -> a very subtle fallacy that most people alive today miss. if an event occurs "in your life" which is "out of your control", is it even meaningfully part of "life"? does this category of "life" actually even help in making sense of daily events?
  2. Life revolves around you / You are the main character of reality -> I find it incredibly strange that psychologists can both try to tell you your life "isn't a story" and then speak of "our lives" like your existence is uniquely yours and you are in fact the main character of reality just by existing and being able to perceive it.

Early Enlightenment / Kantianism

  1. All of reality actually lives in any particular individual's unconscious mind

    [1] -> sub-case of: Q34,99 All events revolve around you.

    so this is where "The Real" comes from, probably. the weird conflation of unconscious thoughts inside one person with other outside objects that are inanimate and not conscious.
    also the concept of the Collective Unconscious. like, making Deltarune and the apparent plot point of the Dark Worlds versus the "Titan fountain" becomes intuitive if you believe this

  2. All of reality actually lives in any particular individual's unconscious mind -> oh. oh no. they ended their timeline of Cartesian reality with Henri pronounced censored Bergson. the dude that hadn't made it to general relativity from special Henry-seconds and Felix-seconds that Felix and Henry respectively can never know

Psychoanalysis

  1. The collective unconscious in fiction is an illusion created by the fact that all the characters actually emerge from a single real mind -> I definitely would not have figured this out as easily without Deltarune. I guess any story that frames itself as a dream would have gotten me here eventually but Deltarune actually makes you ask where the Dark Worlds and all the Light World characters equally come from, so it practically screams this proposition
