What if the way we perceive a problem is already part of the problem?
The world is large, very large. My head is small, quite small. There is no way I can put the world in my head. Nevertheless, I have been trying to elaborate some kind of representation.
What if reality is nothing but some disease?
I think that the task of philosophy is not to provide answers, but to show how the way we perceive a problem can be itself part of a problem.
I never used to be taken seriously as a Swiss person.
The eye is a menace to clear sight, the ear is a menace to subtle hearing, the mind is a menace to wisdom, every organ of the senses is a menace to its own capacity.
There's that initial reticence for some athletes to take you seriously.
I hadn't really noticed that I had a hearing problem. I just thought most people had given up on speaking clearly.
You wouldn't know it, but I'm no good at recognising people; I have face blindness.
