I look on the Emperor

[PolyHedral]

And I see what he is wearing. But that is not what interests me.

What interests me is the fact that almost nobody else agrees with me, or each other, about what he is wearing. Some people are even saying that the Emperor's clothes are so magnificent, they encompass all possible outfits at once, or that he is wearing one of those new-fangled e-ink suits that can appear as anything else. (but is really just a suit underneath)

To me, this suggests something about the Emperor's clothes. Does it suggest anything to you?

... that everyone but you is lying or deluded?

I'd like to meet this... Emperor xD

Or nobody wants to admit he isn't wearing anything at all.

We all use our imaginations to describe what the proverbial 'Emperor' is wearing!

That's gotta be it.

The Emperor is a mirror of desire and aspiration.

The Emperor is a mirror of desire and aspiration.

Sounds like the Dark Side to me. Greed, ambition, self-servingness etc.

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
(Leonard Cohen)

It should be. Because that's what he's wearing.

 

[CircularLogic]

Who made the Emperor emperor? And of what?

It was the criminal minds who so tricked the befuddled emperor to believe he was wearing something, it was the ignorance of the people who allowed him to continue.
