Making Reality

John Brennan: So, the life in times of Don Quixote, what is it about?

College Student: That someone's belief in virtue is more important than virtue itself?

John Brennan: Yes... that's in there. But what is it about? Could it be how rational thought destroys your soul? Could  it be about the triumph of irrationality and the power that is in that? You know, we spend a lot of time trying to  organize the world. We build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather. But what part of our life is truly  under our control? What if we choose to exist purely in a reality of our own making? Does that render us insane? And  if it does, isn't that better than a life of despair?
