• What many people don't see is that there are abundant examples of phenomenal opacity: It is one of the most interesting features of the human conscious model of reality that, first, it can contain elements that are not experienced as mind-independent, as unequivocally real, as immediately given, and second, that there is a "gradient of realness" in which one and the same content can be experienced transparently or in an opaque fashion.

That's what I pattern my writing material and jokes after. I'm trying to maintain a level of realness that my fans can appreciate.

• Our footsteps run, and I don't want them to end. I want to run and laugh and feel like this forever.

I want to stay here, in this moment, and never go to other places, where we don't know what to say or what to do.

• I believe we should really take our own phenomenology more seriously. What a good theory of conscious must explain is the variance in this subjective sense of realness: There clearly is a phenomenology of "hyperrealness", for example during religious experiences or under the influence of certain psychoactive substances.
