Last night's storm front moved on and today I signed up for another three weeks here at the Bosque Bird Watcher's RV Park, San Antonio NM. I like it here, the birds are endlessly entertaining, the price is not hugely more than the New Mexico Parks, and my stay will extend beyond the next NM Parks furlough closure February 8th and 9th. Kills many birds this on stone does.

Sincerity Itself is Bullshit

As conscious beings, we exist only in response to other things, and we cannot know ourselves at all without knowing them. Moreover, there is nothing in theory, and certainly nothing in experience, to support the extraordinary judgement that it is the truth about himself that is the easiest for a person to know. Facts about ourselves are not peculiarly solid and resistant to skeptical dissolution. Our natures are, indeed, elusively insubstantial - notoriously less stable and less inherent than the natures of other things. And insofar as this is the case, sincerity itself is bullshit.

On Bullshit, Harry G. Frankfurt, pg 66
