To anyone who would like a reason to be pissed off:

This is what a sonofabitch sounds like.

I have been thinking lately about how pluralism is just the same concept as binocular vision (or maybe multinocular vision? if that were a word?). Everybody knows if you only see something with one eye, you have no depth perception. Two eyes let you see the depth, the spatial relationships, the fuller picture of the object, just like two ears let us hear in stereo. The more eyes you have, the fuller your vision becomes.

Of course, you'll never become omniscient this way. No matter how many eyes you have, you will always be seeing from somewhere, from a particular space and time. It's the same with ideas. But you are limited when you only see in one way, even if you're staring into the face of God. Obviously?
