The phrase was "right angle to reality", something I'd read somewhere. I googled it. It's from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
It's also from a talk given by Jay M. Hubisz (which also confirms the provenance of the line), a talk which gets into the fundamental nature of reality, pushing on the conceptual walls of quantum physics.
On a day filled with 42s, the book I glanced at on the corner of the O'Hare bookstore concourse display was indeed The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, comprised of all 5 novels in a single volume, and I bought it.
That's how this happened:
... "this" being a conversation on consciousness, AI ethics, quantum uncertainty, psychological disgust, and brash but very broadcast-friendly politicians.
