[net.philosophy] Profound reflections

I think that Ron Rizzo is taking his own confusion for evidence of the
profundity of the question. In his dialogue with the Pseudotaylor, he
mistakes the "front-back" reversal for rotation of a plane about an
axis lying in the plane.  The "front-back" reversal refers to the inversion
of the axis perpendicular to the mirror. Of course, the image space is
3-D, not 2-D.

For real profundity, how about this question that my son asked when
he was four, while looking in the mirror: "Does that other Max have bones?"
