A common theme in living life is the slow, dawning realization that there are 6.6 billion other people out there, and that we are almost exactly alike.

your cool heart has probably already judged me and my ways, and I can only hope that it will be warmed by reading this. But nobody ever takes enough time trying to understand other people. Not that we’re worth it, and not that any amount of time is really going to lead to understanding. My [...]
a note to readers: the following is an argument in favor of objective reality that I wrote for my friend Kim, who took an opposite position.
