There is a lot of pseudo-science and nonsense out there on the Internet, and everyone feels the need to send it to me. And I'm sitting there thinking, 'It isn't real! Stop it!'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, 'What is real?' Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms.
People find it very, very difficult to believe what I've done. Scientists have seen my work and they can't explain it. Even nano-scientists have seen it and been totally shocked. But if any man on Earth wants to challenge me, I'm ready. Bring it on.
I'm not good with sci-fi stuff. I'll be in it, as long as I can see what I'm dealing with and know it's fake. As soon as I watch it on TV, though, my brain registers it as 'Everything's real!'
To this day, I have people I might meet who will make assumptions about my life based on fictional elements of 'The Squid And The Whale.' But I think that's par for the course if you make something that feels kind of real.
A long time ago a bunch of people reached a general consensus as to what's real and what's not and most of us have been going along with it ever since.
It is fun to try figure out the things that really are real and the things that aren't.
What's real? What's not? That's what I do in my act, test how other people deal with reality.
I keep in touch with what's real.
There are things done under the name of science which are ridiculous. But there is also stuff done which sounds funny but is really serious.
I make an effort to keep it as real as I possibly can.
