Subject: After Theories of Truth



Apparition, bluff, chicanery, deception, delusion, dissembling,
dissimulation, duplicity, falsification, feigning, guile, hallucination,
idol, illusion, impersonation, imposture, legerdemain, misrepresentation,
pretence, pretending, representation, seeming, semblance, simulacrum,
simulating, simulation, trickery, wile, and will-o'-the-wisp. All of this and
more. It just isn't relevant that 'Snow is white' is true in L just when snow
is white. How could anyone thing that this is any part of what Foucault was
talking about. It is truth in brackets, as produced, as a way to do things
with words. True is what is satisfied by all sequences when you're dealing
with boring things. The things are the things in the sequences when you're
dealing with cool stuff over which there are wars and fights and tossed
fingers. Duh.... Lithoi
