I'm the most interesting person I know.  I don't mean that in a snobby way, exactly.  I just have clearer access to my thoughts than anyone else's.  My mind is manifest, all others are separated by various degrees of opacity.  I'm sure Eytan has a running mentalese narrative in his head throughout the day, but most of the time I don't know if he's solving the problem or beating up halos.  Occasionally he'll say something reflective, but my eyes aren't always in sync with the air waves exuding the meaning in question.  And later I'm leaving the most interesting person I know.  I have clearer access to my thoughts.  The mentalese narrative in my head, I don't know, most of the time.  Something reflecting, the most interesting person I know.  And later I'm leaving the most interesting person I know.  Mentalese, reflecting, leaving.  Interesting.
