"An identity is not asserted, it is agreed upon by consensus."

Well put. How others perceive us is not within our competence to dictate, much as we would wish otherwise.

I suppose transpassing is better than simply looking in the mirror as it generates some feedback albeit of a perverse nature.

Another great article - thank you.

I reflect on Adolf H - for years he was assumed to be super busy, barely taking any sleep. It was established long after the PR failed that he was inherently lazy, prone to going off to bed at the drop of a hat whilst his minions did all the work. The result - he had little time to appear to be effective, so resorted to fear and hatred to make up for his lack of work.

Many in politics do the same, especially now.

Truth is a constant.

Those who seek to lie will be found out, even if they are not made to account for it.

I'm sure the truth will eventually out. The question is what will remain once it has!

Sounds like the start to a particularly gruesome adult film...
