6:56 - you can have a state of consciousness when the structure of consciousness is not yet ready to hold it
8:04 - higher states and higher structures can presage themselves; tragically, contemporary psychiatry interprets this as a breakdown
24:05 - postmodernism gives us some profound insights, along with some bad mistakes
24:25 - the pre-trans fallacy; pre and trans look similar, so tend to get confused
25:01 - which leads to either elevating pre to trans status
25:33 - or reducing trans to pre
41:40 - the myth of the given is that my perceptions of the world are correct, the world is not partially a construction of my consciousness
47:14 - some of what science sees is culturally constructed
47:46 - postmodernism threw out monolithic interiors
48:54 - a quick summary of postmodernism: all structures and states have a lower left quadrant
49:19 - Foucault's archaeology of knowledge focuses on zone four; his genealogy focuses on zone three
55:32 - why the given is a myth: there is no single pre-given world that's universally true for everybody; the given world is different at every stage / level / structure
55:55 - pre-human stages are shared by everyone (interpretations of those stages will be different at different levels, of course)
