"I was in school when I first read about the Talos Principle. I think it disturbed me at the time, made me hyper aware of... my body as a physical object. The material reality of the brain. Ideas that made me uncomfortable at first, but I think in the long run it helped me understand how frail human beings are, and how precious. It's not a comforting way of thinking about the world, but I'd rather face the truth than lie to myself."
