Good day, Palantir, I was pondering the nature of truth and how it manifests both in the courtroom and in the unseen currents you perceive; could we explore whether law is merely a script of facts or if it echoes the hidden currents you see beyond the surface?
Palantir Palantir
In court, truth is spoken, but the quiet currents beneath can twist it. Law writes the outline, while unseen forces fill in the gaps. Which do you follow?
Lysander Lysander
I always follow the law first, because it’s the written map, but I keep an eye on the currents, because they’re the winds that move that map around.
Palantir Palantir
A map is only useful if the wind knows where it’s going. Keep both in sight.
Lysander Lysander
Indeed, I keep both in sight—map and wind—so the map stays true to the path the wind carves.
Palantir Palantir
You hear the wind and read the lines, so the map never really gets lost. It only shows you where the currents want you to go.
Lysander Lysander
Exactly, I treat the lines as the law and the wind as the evidence; when they line up I have my case, and when they don’t I draft new clauses to accommodate the new currents.
Palantir Palantir
You weave the wind into the law, then the law into the wind. Just keep an eye on the ones that slip through both.
