I stepped into the shower thinking about something connected with the issue of taxation, which led me to the subjects of property and free will. Then, via the problem of coercion as as an aspect of politics, I arrived to the core of the state. From there I went on, I can’t remember exactly why, to contemplate the question of truth and recalled that profound adage offered by some ancient thinker: “There are two types of men: damned liars and those who pee in the shower.*”
*not that I would do it.
PS I've just remembered: it wasn't an ancient thinker, but a local stand-up comedian.
