We ask you to writing in First person because you are the filter through which you are experiencing life and making meaning. This is seeing a constructed world in which you are the builder. We need to know who is doing the building – you need to present. This raises questions about what is truth – is it more ‘true if I writing the building was the best thing every built’ or if I write ‘I felt the building was the best construction I had walked into.’ Is the building better because you are out of the sentence?
We have to ask where we stand on truth, learning, facts – objective truth. Here is montage of videos and questions that together an assemblage for addressing the ethics of where ‘I’ am in what I write…
Lying is a corporative act so is truth...
Truth – learn from history for the better of the world – there is objective truth...
and so for me kindness is key
But what about being kind has the danger of being gullible... (swearing below!!)
....truth...
‘…gave us access to everything but it also gave everything to us… discriminate between the things that genuinely matter and the' rhetoric 'of life…’
Where you are in all this determines what it means... so you need to be present in it when you write about it. That is why we ask you write in first person.
What do you think?...
