Reading J.L. Austin’s essay Other Minds (1946) and thinking about You Can See Everything (!!) and the relationships that form around the utterances “I know” and “I promise.”

“You can see everything” *is a promise* and one that is both transmissible and, ultimately, broken.

Nietzsche: “Forgetfulness is a property of all action... One who wished to feel everything historically would be like… a beast who had to live by chewing a continual cud. Thus… life in any true sense is absolutely impossible without forgetfulness.”

How David Morales won:

Renters who voted early.

- Just 3 precincts on West Side / Fed Hill delivered a 1,445 vote advantage. Morales won by 1,343 votes.
- Winning a whopping 61% of the vote-share among Early Voters.
- Message discipline on the biggest issue. (ya, rent)
