In Karl Popper's Three Worlds' view of reality: there are three worlds that he presupposes exists: World 1: objective, physical reality; the material universe. It includes everything we consider part of the known natural sciences: physical objects, biological, chemical processes, and every known and unknown observable phenomena. It exists independent of us World 2: subjective human experience; individual thoughts, emotions, consciousness, and perceptions. The conscious and the unconscious. This includes our inner mental states, what makes us us - who we think we are, the stories we tell ourselves and others World 3: objective knowledge; these are theories, scientific concepts, mathematical structures, language, literature, art , the arts in general, cultural artifacts, and institutions. World 3 contains the products of human thought that exist independently of any single person’s experience, as they are accessible and interpretable by others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popper%27s_three_worlds

World 2 makes me think of the disconnect that people in opposing political parties seem to regard one another. It's like they are living in two different worlds. Specifically the "stories we tell ourselves and others." But I guess this issue is also intertwined with World 3 as it's collective.
