   Yesterday my girlfriend and I had a very nice dinner with an old friend of mine. After eating some amazing food that he cooked, we lounged and talked for a while. 

   After a few drinks, our conversation steered to plausible future outcomes. We spoke of numerous ideas from aliens contacting us on a worldwide scale to Elon Musk's idea that our life is a simulation. For each one, putting aside our beliefs, we spoke on what we would do and what our reactions would be if these outcomes were to happen. 

   This is what I like to call, "Going down the rabbit hole". Imagining yourself in a world where a certain outcome happens and putting yourself smack in the middle of it. I feel it's an excellent way to open your mind to yourself and others around you. Since the outcomes are so varied and of different depths, there's never one answer to any of the situations. You get to witness a person's thought process of realization and solution along with your own.

   To me, it lets me experience a person's core beliefs, and in a way their primal beliefs. If someone where to be proved they were completely wrong in their beliefs, how would they deal with it? Would they fight for freedom of the race or creed, or would they let someone else do that so they could take care of the weak? These situations delve into various archetypes, such as the warrior and the healer. 

   If you want to work with someone, this might be an interesting way of learning about them. It lets you know whether they're open enough with you to share these thoughts, or closed and guarded. I'm accepting of any belief, as long as it abides by Natural Law, but would it be wise of me to work with someone who cannot think outside their own beliefs? There are a plethora of ideologies out there, why not be open and accepting of them? 

   If you were able to be in someone's shoes and see the world how they see it, that level of understanding would break down walls and procure friendships. It would give both parties a view of how they handle situations, how they think, and a bond that goes deeper than normal friendship.
