Same Same or Not the Same {Reflections Redeemed}
The replicas industry is a flourishing business. There is a need to wear or own replicas of the high-end products people usually want to have. the aura, prestige or simply the feeling they get from the owners have been what makes this widespread all over the place. The branding created the high-end products in terms of quality, sophistication or hard to get could be sometimes misleading but most of the times a mastered marketing strategy. Replicas on the other hand rely on the same sensations the owners get to experience without the compromise of the overly spent money. some could agree it is the same as getting the "original" one or simply not. If taking the fashion industry as an example, replicas do not rely on physical need, on the contrary, they play on the psychological metaphors these items represent. people could compromise the quality or the "logical" seemingly characteristics of a product just for satisfying this need to get the same first impression as tackled previously in dress article.
The psychological attachment between the products and the wider market did not come haphazardly. This glowy look impresses the market with especially products like high-end items or their replicas mainly focus on the metaphoric connection or status. The replicas mainly play on the ignorance of the audience concealing the fact they are replicas, instead stressing on the main selling point of affordable price and "exactly the same" strategy with less price. Sometimes, replicas could be manufactured better than the original as the original might be overpriced.
There is even this conception around the originality of the products and its owners as authentic people own original products. The products could even have psychological impact beyond the mere physical form it represents. I am a quality person wearing quality clothing. There are so many women especially who find it a bit offensive for someone to have the same products. they might find themselves on the defensive. There is even this fantasy about the one and only dress for the one and only amazing woman. However, disappointing most women, dresses and clothing are everywhere and in multiple numbers so good luck!
All of these are replicas of products but what about the replicas of people. Many concentrate on the originality and authenticity, many of whom are not even close to the approach. So what is the concept of original and authentic personality? could someone master the impersonification of another person's traits or merits? could the memories be recycled like products with additives or enhancements? could these mastered impersonifications be by humans or even an AI-enhanced person? I am not quite positive of the capability of these trials. All that could be said in the human impersonation case is people try and sometimes try hard to better themselves. They might take out the best parts of so many people and piece them together hoping they will be a better version of themselves and the other. people are not going to impersonate your flaws, mistakes and bluffs. They will audit the personality and add the adjustments, and this will subsequently change the human interaction. The human experience between two individuals has a lot of complexities and entanglements. Some could try as authorized to impersonate a trait, some inspiring words, lifestyle, fashion style but still no matter what something that makes each is different. and most importantly there is what makes each human interaction and human experience different.
And knowing how hard it is to think of, but humans are not to be reduced to a product. There should be a conscious awareness that the metaphysical transcends the mere physical at least for the times past the impressive first impressions.
