Listen: I know you have a thousand ideas for all the cool features iTunes could have. So do we. But we don't want a thousand features. That would be ugly.

“What many people don't see is that there are abundant examples of phenomenal opacity: It is one of the most interesting features of the human conscious model of reality that, first, it can contain elements that are not experienced as mind-independent, as unequivocally real, as immediately given, and second, that there is a "gradient of realness" in which one and the same content can be experienced transparently or in an opaque fashion.” PeopleMindFirstsHumansRealRealityGivenInterestingFashionExampleElementsModelsConsciousIndependentFeaturesMost InterestingPhenomenalOpaqueRealness Author:Thomas Metzinger
