How do you know
that you are not a rabbit
waiting to be snared.
For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! — Nietzsche, The Gay Science

Gavagai sounds so familiar! Is it from some cognitive science/linguistics/consciousness reading?
lol ya. It's from Quine's "Meaning and Translation". He's a linguistic philosopher, one of the most famous ones.
