Don't anticipate

It was Gadamer who, in his book Truth and method stated that the basic trait of human understanding is anticipation. I have found sometimes that people tend to anticipate opinions on things they don't really know about. This is particularly painful when we anticipate opinions about people. We always judge people based on the collective types circulating in our social consciousness. Aristotle founded his Ethics on this basis. But it is self limiting to project these arche-types before knowing a person. Some people call to this intuition. But I perfer to call it wrong-intuition. My advice is: go and know the person.

Kobe, MVP?

You judge. But, can anyone else in the league do what Kobe is doing?

By the way, I will be at the Boston Garden for the last game of the regular season. The Celtics play vs Detroit Pistons. I'm looking forawrd to watching Paul Pierce, Al Jefferson and Chauncey Billups live.

I'm going to Harvard

Yes, from April 17-21 I will be in Boston attending the Program on Negotiation at Harvard School of Law. I am looking forward to visiting the city of Boston. I have been talking to some friends who have been living there and they say it is a very beautiful place.
