“We are caught up in the world and we do not succeed in extricating ourselves from it in order to achieve consciousness of the world. If we did we should see the quality is never experienced immediately, and that all consciousness is a consciousness of something."
Merleau-Ponty, M. Phenomenology of Perception. Routledge & Kegan Paul/Humanities Press, 1966. pg 5

We are relayed information. The way through which we educate ourselves is an infinite process of exquisite corpse. This is what makes us responsible to be honest storytellers. Without knowing, we take part in passing a message to the ones that follow us. To be in touch with this world, we must take as much deliberation in the stories we tell as possible, and impose as much of our subjectivity.
