4, sorry Bucky, she's punchy tonight and I'm bad at clicking, apparently, lol

Your living room. Got it. Now I am picturing moving in a couch and a coffee table and, oh, a rug.

[counterstep]

no
leave it empty

that's the point

[so_many_pockets]

Okay, fine. Now what?

[counterstep]

now picture yourself standing in the middle of this room

[so_many_pockets]

It is still a room with nothing else in it once I'm standing in it? I'm the only thing in there?

[counterstep]

no
it was an empty room
and now you're in the room
and are the only thing in the once empty room

[so_many_pockets]

So I am naked in this room. That's weird.
Okay. Why am I in this room naked?

[counterstep]

why the hell do you think you're naked??
you're wearing clothes
obviously

[so_many_pockets]

Clothes are things! You said there are no other things in the room.

[counterstep]

fine

you're naked in the middle of an empty room because you refuse to imagine clothes on you

[so_many_pockets]

Are we not imagining this together? I thought this was a bonding exercise.

Fine. Okay. Now a tornado comes and takes me to Oz?

[counterstep]

no
it's a thought experiment

if you want to do something else then just go do something else

[so_many_pockets]

No, no. Let's finish the naked thought experiment, I want to see where this goes.

[counterstep]

it's not a naked thought experiment
it's JUST a thought experiment

[so_many_pockets]

Okay. Let's finish the just a thought experiment.

[counterstep]

Jesus



you're alone in the center of this room
can you see the walls?

[so_many_pockets]

Yes? Yes, I think so.

[counterstep]

how far are they?
is the room wider than it is long? or are they the same?

[so_many_pockets]

Umm... It's a rectangle? I guess I would say wider than it is long, but if you turn it would be the opposite.

[counterstep]

but the side you're facing is shorter, right?
the side you'd feel most natural to face

[so_many_pockets]

... Yes.

[counterstep]

what about the ceiling?
can you see it?
is it really high? or really low?

[so_many_pockets]

Yes? I guess about normal height? Neither really high or really low.

[counterstep]

normal is different by region or building style though

would you be able to reach it if you jumped?

[so_many_pockets]

No, I don't think so.
