To Think Straight, It Is Advisable To

There Are Times When I Catch Myself Believing That There Is Such A Thing As Something; Which Is Separate From Something Else.

Science Sometimes Improves Hypotheses And Sometimes Disproves Them. But Proof Would Be Another Matter And Perhaps Never Occurs Except In The Realms Of Totally Abstract Tautology. We Can Sometimes Say That If Such And Such Abstract Suppositions Or Postulates Are Given, Then Such And Such Abstract Suppositions Or Postulates Are Given, Then Such And Such Must Follow Absolutely. But The Truth About What Can Be Perceived Or Arrived At By Induction From Perception Is Something Else Again.

The Map Is Not The Territory (coined By Alfred Korzybski), And The Name Is Not The Thing Named.

What Is True Is That The Idea Of Power Corrupts. Power Corrupts Most Rapidly Those Who Believe In It, And It Is They Who Will Want It Most. Obviously, Our Democratic System Tends To Give Power To Those Who Hunger For It And Gives Every Opportunity To Those Who Don't Want Power To Avoid Getting It. Not A Very Satisfactory Arrangement If Power Corrupts Those Who Believe In It And Want It.

All Experience Is Subjective.
