We can‟t be objective about
truth, we are in the truth. Just like we are in
consciousness we can‟t get
outside it. Just as truth is in language, we can never get outside it.
We don‟t have that luxury; to be
objectively outside we are enveloped in both. We can never
be the objective. (Jumps on
chair) X looking at the subjective Y. We are both X and Y at the
same time.

EUGENE: So how do you propose we
view ourselves? Tell me, how you view us?
HUGO: As this massive aggregation
of cells which cluster in a way which suggests they
form a persisting unity but in
reality the very units that drive our cells are treading the many
quantum worlds.
EUGENE: So we are a kind of...specious unity?
HUGO: Well, we are not
static entities, there is no fixity. What we call reality has fixed
these pseudo notions and for good
reason.
EUGENE: And what reason is that?
HUGO: All those selling their
products to us. Politicians, the clergy, desire merchants in
advertising and media, they must
appeal to somebody, like the subconscious, a subject is
created to be appealed to. Sorry,
is this all sounding like another conspiracy theory from the
patient?
