MICAH: I heard one of these lectures about an experiment where they give guys a pair of glasses that make them see the whole world upside down. But after three days,guess what? They see everything right side up. And then they take off their glasses, and they see everything upside down again. For three days. And then, eureka! Back to normal.

BRENNAN: Yes, it takes the brain three days to adapt.

MICAH: Well, it seems to me you can't trust a brain that can't make up its mind about something as basic as which way is up.

BRENNAN: What-what else did you learn in that lecture?

MICAH: That there's no such thing as objectivity. That we're all just interpreting signals from the universe and trying to make sense of them.

BRENNAN: Signals from the universe.

MICAH: Dim, shaky, weak, staticky, little signals that only hint at the complexity of a universe that we cannot begin to comprehend. But that's what the lecture said, anyway.
