This was an allusion to a Buddhist teaching. If you pay close attention, you will notice that every conscious experience is marked by impermanence, dissatisfaction, and emptiness.

Doesn't matter if you're looking at the sun or in the midst of an orgasm.

Only (I know you know this) it’s the reaction to / relationship with conscious experience that is the real problem.

Yes, though with a slight nit-pick: the problem is actually not understanding those three characteristics. But... understanding the three characteristics still doesn't make them go away. As long as experience exists, there will be impermanence, dissatisfaction, and emptiness.
