PET Deception and deep subjectivity in science

Perhaps more interesting than PET scans and the intent to engender a view of oneself in the perceptions of others, would be PET scans and persons in partisan conflict achieving intersubjectivity and a measure of humility and some genuine interest in understanding the others and feeling understood oneself.

The effort to understand, the effort to be understood and the distance that always remains.

And here I thought that intersubjectivity and friction was not amenable to Galilean experiment.

Mars: "If two irregular marbles named Phobos and Deimos are rolling down a smooth inclined plane and one feels dissed by the other, will the experimenter take note?"

Venus: "It depends on whether she is observing with a suitable spyglass."
