Susceptible to inputs.

The temperature, the smells and aromas, the humidity, the sounds – for us these are all inputs.

A joke told in a serious voice can sometimes be funnier than one in an imitation Donald Duck voice.

Hearing people on the table behind us in a restaurant speaking in a foreign language, can remind of the illusion of being, in a game-playing childish way, a spy on a mission, when all you really need do is reply to the waiter’s question “rice or potatoes with that?”.

The illusion of connection is not always untrue, and it is what we all aim for.
