Dave Lee is a remarkable kind of scientist. He is able to bring many aspects
of life within his professional consideration to treat them equally rationally,
intuitively, and with a good deal of common sense. He had in the beginning the
good fortune to study mathematics, providing a firm foundation for his later
work in the neurosciences and perception psychology, but importantly he did not
subscribe wholeheartedly to the dominant rational materialism that eschewed
felt experience, and thus a good deal of what life really is. Rather, mathematics
and science were kept by him fundamentally as useful tools to help us know and
understand the phenomenology of our existence as living, perceiving beings.
