    We actually are the main character. We can only perceive the universe through the data our senses collect. We are each a ghost trapped in a meat sack, standing on a rock, hurtling through the universe. You are wholly incapable of seeing the universe through someone else’s perspective. The best you can do is analyze the data you’ve collected through your own senses and try to guess what someone else is experiencing.
