real feet people
People often trust low-res images because they look more real. But of course they are not more real, just easier to fake... You never see a 10-megapixel photograph of Big Foot or the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster.
gray-matter brain mind
Everything is a reenactment. We are reenacting the world in the mind. The world is not inside there. It does not reside in the gray matter of the brain.
insane world facts
The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
zero color numbers
There is only one direction. (Down.) There is only one color. (Black.) And there is only one number (Zero.)
mean consuming ifs
I've been horribly depressed (lately), which, as you know, can be terribly time-consuming. I mean, if you're going to do it right, that is.
way belief photograph
Photographs attract false beliefs the way flypaper attracts flies.
world language photograph
All alone - shorn of context, without captions - a photograph is neither true nor false.... For truth, properly considered, is about the relationship between language and the world, not about photographs and the world.
years years-ago detectives
I used to work as a private detective years and years ago.
phones might next
Certain kinds of intimacy emerge on a phone call that might never occur if you were sitting right next to the other person.
confrontation absurdity ecstatic
Ecstatic absurdity: it's the confrontation with meaninglessness.
differences stories bigs
But there's a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story.
insanity pursuit
The pursuit of truth, properly considered, shouldn't stop short of insanity.
behavior ability skeptical
I am profoundly skeptical about our abilities to predict the future in general, and human behavior in particular.
self people deception
I'm really interested in self-deception. Really interested in how people live in bubble universes. How people can fail to see the seemingly obvious.
