I know. I know. You feel morally righteous. You love your rules. You love your fictions. You feel your convictions. You find great confidence in your convictions, rules, and fictions.

I’ll tell you a secret socrates whispered, and one that all of us who are vastly smarter than you are all follow: we never feel confident, righteous, that we love or rules, or are full of conviction. All we know is that we have surveyed all the accumulated wisdom, knowledge, technology, and science of mankind and we know all the things that are false, lies, dangers.

It is not that we know we are right. it is that we know the many ways of being wrong. And that is how we know you are wrong.

Because so many people like you have been wrong for the same reasons for so many centuries.
