gollark: I was once in Edinburgh consuming food from a Subway and found that there was actually a vegan protest in front of it.
gollark: This is because people don't actually seem to work, on the whole, according to stated ethical values.
gollark: Thus, if you try and make me do things which are "good according to some ethical standard which I claim to roughly agree with" but inconvenience me personally a significant amount, such as veganism, I may just entirely ignore you because "some animals do not like being used to produce milk for me" is part of the "far group" of issues I am not really paying attention to.
gollark: Ignoring things when it's convenient.
gollark: See, us humans have *amazing* abilities when it comes to ignoring things which don't directly affect us.

I found that when I went to tourist spots, there would be people looking at places and I'd always see them from behind. That was the whole [Maurice] Merleau-Porty kind of philosophical thing: being in front and being behind--like being inside yoursself. I was also at that time in the iconography of body gestures. How you could read, from the way a person's body was from the back, almost as much, or as much, as you could from looking at a face in a portrait. . . .
