Everybody is in too many pieces

Let's say everything is true, relatively speaking.

The 'I' (= X) that knows that 'P' is true — what justifies its singularity?

Everybody is in too many pieces. People are irrational.

A relativism of individuals does not explain how a person can affirm both horns of a dilemma.

What a contradiction does is to shatter the 'I'. The 'I' that is a Christian on Sunday is not the 'I' that never gives change to a beggar.

So all these 'i's are strung together into the big 'I' like pearls on a necklace. The 'self', under the things we've said above, becomes something like a balloon full of millions of eyes, each wanting to burst out.
