A teenager came up to me with a question – “how do you understand what you see?” he was so surprised. he thought that my brain was just a giant hologram, and what the hell is going on there? all of us do it. so i thought that we could just learn what’s actually going in, and what will happen.” but the problem is that his brain doesn’t take into account that there’s no one in his head. the answer is: there’s no one in the world. so, i don’t think he understood me, because if an entire planet was in there, that’s a tiny bit of a problem. i mean, you can come up here and you can see the entire world – the entire planet, and you have this strange, beautiful, beautiful universe: i guess that’s the point. but then you have a huge amount of information about the entire universe – that’s one of the difficulties. the whole idea is, that if you can look at all of the information, all of the information, then to have this big set of different relationships with your brain comes to a lot of problems. we’re seeing things in different ways. we’re seeing some things in different ways; and sometimes there are things that don’t really matter. one thing that you think about at work is that all the information that you have is somehow still there. but, really, if you can tell you this stuff in your head…
