rattus rattus’ blog

If you think that this here is all so very negative
you might very well be wrong. The opposite is true.

A friend has sent me a few lines, strange lines. Actually, an answer to a question I had asked. Nevertheless, I do not understand it.
I guess, a seemingly natural reaction would be to ask

What do you mean?

And yet, it’s only a lie.
A liar’s lie.

To say we do not understand what we have just read, to ask for explanation of meaning which we allegedly failed to comprehend in the first place but pretending we would be able to understand it all if the other could just elaborate, whereas we even do not have a clue what the meaning of meaning is.

To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Henri Poincaré: Science and Hypotheses. 1905.

You do not have to believe me.
But if you do not
you better believe me this.

Of course, only in case you believe yourself.

If you were a liar and if you thought your hair is telling the truth what would you do?

You could wear a wig in order to cover the truth. But the wig is truth. Someone could see you wearing a wig. That’s the truth but you are a liar.

You could wear two wigs. One to cover your hair, one to cover the wig covering your hair. It will be difficult but you are a true liar. You’ll spare neither trouble nor expense.

It would be much easier if your hair was lying too. You’d not have to wear a wig, thus you’d wear one.

Of course, you could wear a hat on your wig, but you’d always fear the moment where you’d have to put it off. This is what hats are for. One can take them off, and back on again. Or someone else could.

Hats are transferable. Wigs are too, theoretically.
You see, wigs are metaphors. Hats are too, but practically.

We choose our lies.

How does a liar try to hide the fact of being a liar?

I think a wig is no lie. Though, a wig could be a lie’s metaphor. And a lie could be a wig’s metaphor. If a wig is a metaphor, then it actually is the metaphor of a lie’s metaphor.

Imagine a wig is a lie. Could you see it?
What does a metaphor tell?
What does a wig hide?

Since a few days, someone (or maybe not) repeatedly tries to load a page from this blog’s server with the address thisdoesnotexistahaha.

Apparently a lying liar.

Hey, lying surfer, you are welcome!

This is important! People who say, “Attention, please”, are liars.
You should know.
