actually being experienced right now. And nothing that we ever<br />

figured out outside of the right Now is really going to inform how<br />

this Now is being experienced.<br />

We can only go so far <strong>with</strong> it, that's all, of course it's interesting. I<br />

talk and think about it, and write about it all the time, but it's just<br />

in a particular category of usefulness and it is limited.<br />

TRIP: At one time you wanted to say to people, and I did too, you<br />

wanted to say, you can have this, look at me, this is possible for<br />

you, it's your birthright, wish for it, just ask, ask big. Do you still<br />

want to say that to people?<br />

JAN FRAZIER: I've learned not to. [Laughter]<br />

somebody.<br />

WIZARD: It's just buffoonery.<br />

JAN FRAZIER: Yes. But I do think, and this is the situation in<br />

which I occasionally give in to that impulse, I do think there are<br />

lots of people around who suspect, who think, like they've had a<br />

little taste of this, or they've had a hunch that there's more going<br />

on. So sometimes I think that they just need like a little tiny nudge<br />

of a gentle fingertip pushing them to say, yes, go for it, you're on to<br />

something. I mean, for some people it's just so, it's got that too<br />

good to be true feeling, and I do think once in a while for some<br />
