One thing I found interesting last week was the idea of multiplism. While I can understand the idea of multiple realities existing based on individual perspective, I find it hard to think that one could then know about other perspectives and and still believe it even when it contrast with her/her own. On top of this, multiplism has the non-violet attitude that hinders one from trying to change or stop another reality. I don't care for this because I feel like bad schemas would be allowed to run rampant and others could easily be harmed. Furthermore I see this as somewhat paradoxical considering its easily possible for schemas to involve the hurting/converting of others. This can be seen by all the genocides in our history and still today. So while in general I see multiplism as a good idea, technically I feel its not truely possible.
