The Search for realism
- Cultures
- Races
- Magic?
- Technology
What is wrong with it?
- The world is messy, the audience wants to understand
  - Stranger than fiction
  - Vladimir Demikhov & Experiments in the Revival of Organisms
- People often make choices that are contrary to their character
- Nature and natural selection are hard to understand or guess at
- Takes too long
You should replace the search of realism with believable
- Make approximations that seem real to you
- Share your ideas and test them on people to see if they call it believable they might even use the word realistic.
