Note to Self
Ok, this past summer I built my daughter a beautiful Futon out of Knotty Alder. After the second major frame piece has cracked, I need to remind myself NOT to use Knotty Alder if something needs structural strength! OOPS!

). We go inside ouvrelses and compare the principle or idea of happiness with the state of things down there in the soul, as it were, and so arrive at the ‘subjective fact’. I don’t see what your ‘conundrum’ is. So long as we think of a self or subject that is capable of strong privacy, if you like, then it seems quite a natural way to speak. In the law one says ‘we don’t care about the truth’; only the facts count. There are ‘legal facts’ and they are, might I say, ontologized by the jury. For instance, the members of a jury decide whether or not an advertisement is misleading. They deliberate about the existence of misleadingness in the ad. If the ad is found misleading it is so as a matter of fact.Perhaps the fact in law (or legal fact) of happiness could also be established through process of probative inference (just as the state of guilty mind is). We might take out a class to class suit against the happy, to recoup are tax dollar, if we think they are using up more public resources than the unhappy who just mope around on the couch all day.This idea that ‘facts are being relativized seems to agitate you. I noticed that you balked at Dawkins’s ‘scientific fact.’ Are your concerned for facts, that their fullness and absoluteness is endangered?
