🗑️ 🧵 Consciousness and reality

Has it ever occurred to you that reality (the things we experience) is a result of interplay between other people's consciousness more akin to a web like structure.
It could be possible that this interplay of consciousness between humans is constantly creating the realities which affect us on an individual level and also on a collective level.

Eg. On Nick's way home from work there was heavy traffic on the N1 so he decided to use an alternative route on the back roads of a near by town.
While driving on the back roads Nick was attacked, his car hijacked at gun point and the robbers got away with his car.
Now take a careful look at the events that happened in the above paragraph. One thing led to another which also led to other things that made the robbery possible. You could infact see that there was a lot of interplay between a lot of individuals and the decision they took at a particular time during the unfolding of events.
This implies that there could have been so many outcomes if different decisions were taken at any point during the events that led to the robbery.
Below is a few possible realities which could have occurred
1. If lots of drivers did not choose to use the N1 at that particular time, Nick wouldn't have used the back roads and wouldn't have been robbed. (Event out of Nick's control)
2. Nick could have stayed on the N1 despite the traffic if he was a little patient but would have gotten home a bit late. In this case no robbery occured. (Event within Nick's control)
3. The armed robbers choosing that particular back road for their operation at that particular time Nick was driving caused Nick to become vulnerable to the robbers. (Event out of Nick's control)
Accessing these possible outcomes (there could be more), we could deduct that there was an interplay of factors that was within and outside Nick's control which could have made the robbery possible or impossible. This also leads to philosophical analysis of fate, destiny and freewill.
