And we orient ourselves in the darkness of the unknown by grasping kind of blindly for familiar points of reference. And we seek to construct out of them a kind of compass out of similarities and contrasts relative to our familiar world and our existing knowledge.

And I think it especially true about such nebulous subjects as art or philosophy or really how to think, where there is no true north. So we seek tangibles, like the market, to orient ourselves in this maze of merit and meaning.

And it takes something. But I really believe most people, all people, have that capacity in them to do what he says, basically, to, you know, not orient ourselves to what's been done, what's been thought, to the market, to the familiar, and try ever so gently to expand our private locus of the possible.
