It’s cool if you didn’t – I’ll fill you in, then you can pretend you did:

So it turns out that, just as you never learn the same language as someone else and never step in the same river twice (that’s Heraticlus, that is), you can also never actually get to know someone, oh no!

In a wonderfully platonic (as in the dead Greek guy) turn of events it seems that a person you get to know is just a sort of crude approximation to the person they really are, and this image is warped by the setting and the medium of communication.

Of course, if you communicate with a person in a variety of settings and via many different media then your approximation of them will get more accurate, being based off more and more data, but you never can get right to the source, if you get my meaning. It’s a crying shame.

There was some other stuff in there as well, but it was mostly for the guys in human resources, so don’t worry. Those people are dicks anyway, did you hear what that Dave guy from down there did last week? Come get lunch with me later and I’ll tell you about it; you’ll never look at that sick fuck the same way again, seriously.
