Not enough disagreement in the transcripts to form camps. These are the positions taken by people with demonstrated expertise on this topic first, then by how many people heard them on it, then by VoiceRank.
Imagination and narrative are essential tools for interacting with a reality that is far more complex than our simple mental representations.
“But the thing in itself is always much richer richer than your apprehension of it, which is partly why you make mistakes, but also partly why you can continue to garner wisdom in the world.”

Imagination allows individuals to see the world as something that communicates meaning, transforming inert objects into something significant.
“They they redescribe reality so that it is actually communicating something to you. It's not just there as an inert object before you and that sense of the transcendence is like discovering yourself in a mirror, seeing in the world as a whole that thing in you that you could never identify in words.”
