However, these two phenomena are not linked. While technology has collapsed the gap between images and one's capacity to experience, there are many situations where this is not the case. The most salient being in genres like science fiction and fantasy. (Wittgenstein, Blue and Brown Books, 39-40)

My name isn't common, but there are at least 8 others in the US with it. Not sure why people think names are unique.

Was told this as well. Given the lack of care for others and everything I was trained to do/believe is the opposite of what conservativism has become. I was only registered with one political party, but they lost any respect I once had for them.
