Obviously, we have to continue this another day—but I’m talking about taking back the research questions from the universities and their people products. There are questions that no one is asking, or if the questions are being asked, the researchers are looking for the data in the lighted parking lot.*

*You know this joke, right? A guy is walking around at night in a lighted parking lot. Another guy comes up and asks, what’s up. The first guy says he lost his house keys. The second guy asks where he was last when he had them. The first guy points to a dark vacant lot across the street. The second guy asks why he’s looking here, then. The first guy says, the light’s better here.

That is the social sciences in a nutshell. Coffee, and these questions—

The cultural issues need to be more widely understood, and we are at square one when it comes to our understanding of psychology or consciousness.

Lot o’ coffee.
