am I really Rhea?

If you want to see a weird movie, see Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972). If you want to see a weirder movie, see Soderbergh's Solaris (2002). If you want to become weird, read Stanislav Lem's novel, Solaris (1961).

They have the ingredients of things that I am interested in: morality, reason, memory, consciousness, intelligence, existence and feelings. Maybe this is my unconscious reaction to my other interest in the physical environment and its construct. Or those could be just a universal human interest. Last but not least, it would be interesting to analyze all these versions of Solaris as a case study for the evolution of ideas and interpretations.
