How do I know?
Because “all I know is” Nagin has “a list, backed up by files … and that’s the only list that counts.”
“We aren’t going to agree on this” but, as people of “general intelligence,” yall should get out of this “gotcha mode … especially when we have people in town (we are trying to get more money from).” Because it’s “hurting this city and you need to stop it.”
May I approach the bench on this notion of “General Intelligence” from the view of General Semantics?
No? Well, fork me.
“General Intelligence”, as a concept should not be confused with “Consensus Reality”. For example, while it is generally accepted as impossible for an intelligent human to grow a rhino horn from the middle of their forehead, whether or not that would be a Bad Thing or become perhaps a Desirable Thing, yea as well even a Providentially Inevitable Thing is up to the verdict of “consensus reality”. Hence, the unbelievable quandary of Intelligent Design~vs~Scientific Method, and/or worse, the exorcism and exile from the ever growing Rhinocerati those so-called “Intelligent” people who might scoff at even the possibility that humans could grow a single horn from the middle of their head.
Or did you just blow my mind?
Sure as hell beats blowin’yer nose, Varg.
I think you missed the part where he said “kinda sorta” backed up
