I don't believe that you can talk about a photograph being true or false. I don't think such a claim has any meaning.

Film is lies at twenty-four frames a second.

I don't think that anybody really makes films quite like mine. That's maybe true of any filmmaker.

We falsely interpret the world around us. We ignore evidence that doesn't support our prior beliefs and we convince ourselves we know things we don. We think we know things we don't know.

But there's a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story.

Robert Nozick [a Havard philosopher, famous for his book "Anarchy, State and Utopia"] defined revenge as delivering the message that you know what someone has done, and it doesn't involve hurting them or doing anything to them beyond that. It's just delivering the message that their crime has been noted not just by its victims, because the victim might be dead, but by another who has a different moral view and will challenge the perpetrator's view.

I'm really interested in self-deception. Really interested in how people live in bubble universes. How people can fail to see the seemingly obvious.
