You and what others can see of you

 
You "are surrounded by a truthy proto-you, like a haunting halo,a much more expanded twelve-inch remix of yourself that you pretty much can't see [...] others can see much more of you than you can of yourself"
 
"In neurological language, it's now called the adaptive unconscious"
 
"in the philosophical tradition of phenomenology it's called style"
 
"A lot of comedy consists in portraying someone trying to do stuff from the position of why they think they are; but how they do it shows their total style, of which they are not in charge"
