Generalization & Special Case:
"I make each individual as special case but consciousness as the generalization. Like that bumper sticker this morning (DC license # 160-585) THE REAL WORLD IS SPECIAL CASE. Reality is special case. You and I are sitting here and no one else can be sitting right where we are. But the newspapers miss this: they write about reality as if we were all the same realities, as if we were all the same things. If you and I were sitting here we couldn't possibly be anywhere else.
"There are a lot of different realities. That is the difference between reality and generalization; there is only one generalization."
