Darn those pesky photographers

I managed to annoy this Western Kingbird and a Say's Phoebe yesterday morning. They were out hunting up a few insects for breakfast and had to keep hop-scotching their way down the fence-line to keep a comfortable distance between us. It was more fun for me than for them I'm sure.

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
