You have to take in the whole picture, and ask, What is it you want? What kind of world do you want? So, I have drawings of different cities. Those cities have an end goal they're not just cities. The end goal of those cities is to make things relevant to people that they respond to. There's no other way.

You can't be conscious unless you have variable receptors... When people say the way I see the world is the way it is - that's ridiculous. We can only see it depending on the quality of our receptors and background.
