The Gift of Snow

"Self-knowledge" implies personal clarity but is wrought with trickery and illogic. The absurd logic bit comes as an endless cascades of "me learning me learning..." and the trickery from the supposed mastery of "who is watching whom?"

This imagined scheme is fallacious. Since you are always in the NOW the "you"s as history and plans are "owned" models in memory. Learning is the present "of and by" theses memories brings about a perspective with understanding and prescience of your self.
