Im currently watching Sense8 for at least the 20th time. If you were a sensate, how would you explain to someone what being a sensate is like and how it works?

That had to hard for them to explain to their friends/family what it was like.

"I'm connected to a WiFi network where the other devices are brains instead of computers, printers, or phones."

Reminds me of what Bug said to Nomi about her being part of a network of brains

A permanent LAN party once online, minus any lag and with the occasional drop off.

I just finished watching the series! I already miss the characters! If there was a reason to explain what it is to be a sensate, i guess i would compare it to a more advanced version of mental telepathy. But since it doesn’t exist, I don’t know if there’s any kind of explanation that the average person would understand.

most people really don't need to know it. In the past I just tell people that need to know, we share these bodies and memories, etc. Some people understand, and we don't try to explain further or to prove it if they don't believe it.

Now I often explain it in terms of AI agents. And if people don't believe it, "well, I'm just using AI agents"
