I understand what your clip means but, I can't explain in words. Does that make sense?

The delusion of universal self-importance.

Thanks ratilfar you put into a few words what I would have put in a paragraph and still not made my point.

Douglas Adams was the famous creator of such notables as "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy".
Alot of his quotes are offbeat, eccentric and very british humour based. For some to understand his abstract subjects you sometimes need to follow his material. His train of thought was very different, to say the least.

It is good to see someone discussing the neglected philosophy and theology of puddles. It certainly made me stop and think. In future I will walk around them, poor things.
