Finding the confidence to claim ignorance.

Jump to Comments

The over-pious think that unbelievers are in the dark, and the over-skeptical think that believers are misguided. Neither is right.

  • That’s quite a claim to make!

  • Tell me about it!

    What I’m getting at is that when people on any path in life fall into an overly-centered view of things, they lose perspective and tend to justify their own beliefs about the world by trying to establish the opposition as false. And then you get things like violent Jihads, Crusades, Cold Wars, biting commentary and documentaries that only ask a lot of antagonizing questions and offer little answers. Instead of building up our foundation of knowledge, we’re arguing over what the blue prints should look like!

  • Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve firmly centered my beliefs on the fact that I am the single coolest person in the world…so, yeah. :-P (Also, sorry you’re not the coolest person in the world.)

  • So, you’re saying that the blueprints of success and knowledge are Deas’ face, and that we should build on top of it?

  • Ha ha ha - touché.

    Perhaps I meant that the foundation of success is “being really, really, ridiculously good looking.” ;-) Or…something. Ha ha.

  • If we are talking faces, then wouldn’t the foundation of success be makeup foundation?
    BTW, Alex, just messing around with my first comment and how your post was both objective and assertive.

  • The foundation of success is Max Factor! Nice!
