None of the Above

by Marble

Forcrying out loud we have debate about solid scientific models in this country, how can those percieving bias on the other side be considered in any way legitimate? I agree with Machiavelli, perception is reality. But that is only in politics because politics is artifice. It aims at misrepresenting the world. If you take that as the basis of your reality, then of course there is no objective perspective. What then is the point of communication? Solely bending others to your will?

Cool! Replacement ring is available: »
[ random thoughts ] 2002-09-24
I asked for my ring back: Last year I gave a very special ring of mine to someone. I gave it to him because I felt very strong fond feelings for him, but he never reciprocated. I asked for it back in email, and he didn't even deign to respond.

Asshole.

So I just now emailed his wife. Perhaps she can persuade him to send it back. It's just a little ring, not worth much. But it's worth the world to me. And he didn't even want me anyway, well, not further than he could use me.

We'll see how it goes. I have a tool of persuasion called Truth that I'm indicating I'm willing to use should it become necessary. I hope it doesn't go that far though.
