Grigg assayer

Lacan and science. Science and truth. Truth is not facts. Facts are science. Science is knowledge. Knowledge is not knowing. Knowing is the subject, or, the subject wants to know. And knowing is to know knowledge out... there...

When I dined with Russell Grigg last year he insisted that science made objects almost-subjects. He was countermanding my argument that technical objects are modulated through a presentism that rejects any 'metaphysics' of the subject. Now, after a bit more reading, I think Russell and I are on the same page but at different corners. His aggression targeted this similarity and my touché produced bewilderment on some of the other faces at the table because Russell was their love-object, or maybe they were just used to seeing visitors politely consent to arbitrary correction.
