Yesterday, my mother was having problems connecting her new scanner
to her Windows machine. So of course she decided to call me for
help. I begged her not to torment me in this fashion. "It's like
you're asking me to fix your Macintosh. It's like you're asking me
to repair your car. I can't do it." Fortunately, it was just
a case of a missing DLL, so I managed to fix it over the phone in
a mere hour.
I'm almost done with my 130 final. Now I can start rereading
Anscomb for my paper. Wittgenstein's assertion is that you can
hold a false belief without having made a mistake. I don't see what the
problem is or how this implies any kind of idealism. You can
speak falsely without lying, but the fact that you weren't lying
doesn't make whatever you said true. But I can't make that last 6 pages.
