Human consciousness exists to navigate and transform chaotic possibility into good, habitable order.
“People are conscious characters. And what is it that you're conscious of? And the answer is you're conscious of possibility. And in fact, that's what you're consciousness is for.”

Existential philosophy is alluring because it bridges abstract ideas with down-to-earth, relatable issues humans encounter every day.
“I think part of it is this sort of coherence between a set of quite abstract ideas by quite abstract thinking people and also and and the coherence between that and then a series of very very downto-earth issues that you just encounter every day.”
