I think, therefore I am. I think not. It turns out that I don't exist. This comes as news to me, but I'm not about to argue with the internet, or the US Census Bureau.There are 53,944 Rudys and 480 Garnses. But no Rudy Garns. I knew I was insignificant, but this hurts. On the other hand, if there were a number of Rudy Garnses, how many of them would be me?

Missing Shades of Grue
rules amended, inferences rejected
Rudy Garns
philosopher, educator, citizen
"...rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is ammended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences...." (Nelson Goodman, Fact, Fiction and Forecast)
