As Baum explains to Stefani in one of the many interviews published here for the first time,"It’s uncanny for me to look back at 2008–2011 — when I was intensely meditating on the problem 'Why is there any being at all?' — to find evidence of your intervention here with me…to find you, back then…before I knew you. It was almost as if I was playing the Bruce Willis character in <italic>Twelve Monkeys,</italic> overshooting my mark in time/space, aiming for this particular conversation but speaking through <italic>Ereignis</italic> (life gives) to a moment I (and many others) call 'headphones on.'" 20 00 Open Access punctum books 01 punctum books Earth, Milky Way 04 01 20160407 13 15 9780692686911 09 punctum books 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.punctumbooks.com/10.21983/P3.0138.1.00.pdf 99 01 09 punctum books 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://punctumbooks.com/titles/thoughtrave-an-interdimensional-conversation-with-lady-gaga/ 99 01
