I Don't Get This Song: Regarding Why's "Sanddollars" – akarra’s Journal – Users at Last.fm

There is a way around this problem. The trick is to look at ourselves in the mirror first. Why?'s "Sanddollars" gives us a speaker dissing another for not having achieved anything, but as he disses, we can see just how thin the line dividing the speaker and audience is.

This kind of self-critique - I don't know what love is, I don't know what's worth loving, I need to be sensitive to others - is Socrates' "knowledge of ignorance," the "know thyself" atop the Delphic oracle. The stuff you know, that you don't get taught nowadays because we're teaching science only.
