oddities feelings enlightenment
It is a special kind of enlightenment to have this feeling that the usual, the way things normally are, is odduncanny and highly improbable.

This feeling of universal oddity includes a basic and intense wondering about the sense of things. Alan Watts
oddities exactly-is effort
Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television.

When the ad is over, I can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection, and sudden death. Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating? Charles Krauthammer
