  • Joss Whedon, the writer-director and creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, thought of his series in terms of "My So-Called Life meet[ing] The X-Files. The episode, then, presents this question by way of conflating the two forms of skepticism I discussed before: on the one hand we have an epistemological skepticism, which casts its shadows of doubt over the existence of objects in the world, if not over the existence of the world at large, and on the other we have a form of skepticism specifically addressing the existence of other minds, which distinguishes itself from the former on grounds that the existence of another creature as a human being depends on our granting and projection of it, whereas the existence of one world or another does not await our judgments.
