Am I wrong to presume that all knowledge is at best presumption? So all of
this is just "let's assume that..."? It doesn't matter, of course, but I'd
kind of like to know because, well, you know, my emotional life, it sort of
matters to me and I don't want to get all bent out of shape over a
mispresumption. I realize that my presumptions nothing more than the product of
my world -- the old "Always already immersed in a world" thing, you know? I
am my culture and I don't know if it's possible for me to ever be not my
culture, even when I reject parts of my culture, that too comes out of my
culture. But I would sure hate to get all worked up only to realize that
what I was all worked up over was just mis-presumption on my part, stemming
from my unique culture. That, in fact, I could be completely wrong about my
understanding of everything. EVEN what I'm writing right now. But you've got
to admit that that's highly unlikely -- I mean, come on, a man of my
intelligence -- wrong?? Get real. So I presume I right in all this.
