the truth about the truth

today i was on a three-person panel of 'experts' talking to a philosophy class about Truth (yes, with a capital T) according to science, art and religion. i represented the art field. fortunately my brother called and woke me up from a post-lunch nap just in time, otherwise i would have been much more than 30 seconds late and very embarrassed. he agreed that the fashionably late thing was probably meant to be and it echoed my ideas on truth quite nicely. but most of the students were more interested in the intelligent design theory and if it should or shouldn't be taught in science classes. oh well, i had a chance to talk about Yves Klein and that was fun.
