I consider my own perspective of self no more valid than anybody else’s perspective of me.
BUT…
because I’m the the one typing here… I can speak with authority from ‘in here’. [from about 7 inches behind my eyeballs, maybe 2 inches down, in a little circuit… that’s where I am].
Being an authority doesn’t make me right. Just… well, an authority. Authorities can be wrong and often are.
