before i forget

note the difference b/w:

1. I'm a liar.
2. She's a liar.
3. He's a liar.

The first expression, besides the Liar's Paradox, implies access to "I" that knows truth, both externally and internally, but chooses not express it externally. The second impression can imply a gender bias in certain contexts. The third expression is similar to the first, but it passes a judgement on a speech act without access to that person's "I".
