It is my conviction that no one is any more or less a liar. We are all liars, says me who is one, too. Hence, nobody is a liar. But, this, of course, is not any less a lie.

Since it does not make much difference, as you see, I suggest to call you no liar, but I am a liar. Or, let’s all call this nonsense, but why then?

A bit beyond perception’s reach
I sometimes believe I see
that Life is two locked boxes, each
containing the other’s key.

[Ratta & I always tell the truth. So, what do you want me to say?]

My list of some dichotomies is missing the delicate discretion of women versus men, though it is always good enough for some humor; one that can be found elsewhere but I AM … NOT‘s place is so much more exciting since I AM … NOT refuses to hate me; probably because he believes rattus to be male though she is not. Anyway, I AM … NOT, listen up! You could at least lie to me.

Check that your criterions are bleeding edge. Be conscious about what you are doing. Define your science. Analyze your methods. Discuss the results, but draw clear distinctions. Exert precision.

Go ahead, take the scissors. Make sure your knifes are sharp. Be careful not to cut yourself, though. And, beware of dichotomies. Cut through them. Eventually, consider philosophy of science. Cut the scissors.

Please, do not hurt anyone. Yes, this includes yourself.

. . . myself.

You’re welcome.
Love and kisses,
XOXO.

Yours,

If I say I am not a liar and I am, well then I am a liar. If I say I am a liar and I am not, well then I am a liar. How can anyone tell if I am a liar or not?
