Yeahh, you know what?If it's in the land of the blind, there's no fucking way to know if the one-eyed man actually has one eye. Cuz everyone else is blind and shit. It might just be another blind fucker pretending to have an eye.

There is some weight to that line of reasoning.As no one could actually look and see if they were pretending.

I'd claim to have one eye just because that old adage promises I'd then be kingBut then I expect everyone else would too, so we'd all be living a lie. I don't want that.

And then I bet a bunch of people would start pretending.The only way to be able to tell would be to poke them in their faces to see if there was an eye there or not...

It might be expedient to chop off everyone's head in the interests of fairness. Tahkcalb ω∞ for sigs,
