Love me a good rant, and this was a good one. I’ve endeavored to get off the internet as much as I can over the last year or so because all I could do was rant. It’s a waste of energy.
You’re wrong about this though: “…understand that you might be wrong about some things?”
Man I've changed my mind so many times I know I will change it again. There's a sweet spot between certainty and doubt. An ever-evolving working hypothesis! Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself!
I’m starting to enjoy more and more the idea of never being sure about anything. Maybe it’s me getting older, I don’t know. I’m not even sure about that
Boom. Reading this after my morning meditations, prostrations to the what I don't know yets, giving it all back to uncertainty, cleaning off the layers of selfhood they've built up congealing the whole thing and letting it slip through my slippery fingers again... gives me heart sparks of explosional joys and gratitudes of Yes Thank Yous for speaking uncertainty with such grounded confidence 🔆
To say it more succinctly, purity politics is not a method for arriving at truth, it's just a way of silencing people who disagree with you. The philosophical antidote is to remember that we are all imperfect: we are human. Nobody is exempt. Yet we can speak honestly from our imperfection, in hopes of mutual evolution.
Yes Rosie, I do understand all of that.
And it's good to see a wizard getting a bit more political.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Bloody well said! Totally. More please.

We eat, we shit, what might be unique to us is we also pray. This was great, thanks.
