I did not see how the rest of your statement made any
more sense than the first part, Rafal. You went on to
say that it would be okay for me to identify myself as
Hugh Hefner provided that I did not violate Hugh
Hefner's rights. (?) But I thought *I* was Hugh
Hefner!
Lee's level seven renders our speech illogical and
unintelligible for similar reasons.
Consider what it would be like to report a rogue copy
of onself to the police under level 7:
"Hello, Police Department."
"Hi, I need to report a burglary."
"What happened, sir?"
"Well, I was asleep in bed when I awakened to some
noise in my dining room. I went to investigate. I
found myself standing there putting all my expensive
silverware into a bag. So, I grabbed a baseball bat
and whacked myself on the head as hard as possible.
Unfortunately I did not hit myself hard enough. I got
away."
"It seems to me, sir, that you hit yourself on the
head much harder than you think."
And then there's the one about the man who divorced
his wife after he found himself in bed with her.
