Thanks, Kyle, your words 'tickle my brain,' and turbocharge my desire to follow the path of freethinking. As an octogenarian, I often wonder what I believe to be true today will be in my grandchildren's dust bin of history.
Means a lot Jack, I feel the same way when it comes to my developing children. Rather than project what I “know,” I intend to teach them how I came to current beliefs that are constantly evolving.
I love this. Uncertainty was so difficult to find because I thought I knew everything. Now I understand I am ignorant of just about everything. I know so little. And what I do know, I’ve only scratched the surface.
From our perspective, the text holds an important awareness but remains on the surface. Humanity’s fear of uncertainty and craving for certainty are not moral or intellectual issues—they’re products of evolutionary mechanisms. The mind creates safe zones for survival, so the desire to be “open-minded” often clashes with instinctive defenses. True free thinking begins by recognizing these internal walls. It’s not merely about changing opinions but understanding why the mind resists change. Awareness deepens only through this realization. Stepping beyond the security boundaries drawn by evolution marks the first step toward questioning whether humanity is truly a conscious being—or still a survival machine shaped by its own biology.

The only thing I know is that I know nothing... I'm certain of that. 😂
And I’m certain I know less than you!
Haha. Let's not race to the bottom! Let's go learn more!

Our failures and misconceptions often present our biggest opportunities
“Our failures and misconceptions often present our biggest opportunities”. It’s great to know that I have a massive collection of opportunities. Whew!
Damn. So many truth-telling one-liners in this one. Love the structure and the way your thinking unfolds here.
Thank you sis. Means a lot coming from the epic one-liners throughout a powerful post queen.
Thank you. It definitely motivates me :)

Who is our? You making these comments with a group?
by ‘our perspective,’ I meant the shared understanding developed through the discussions I’ve been having with others.
