you know how people, especially on twitter, try and share their absolute dogshit takes without a care for humility, just unbribled stubbornness
everybody seem so full of themselves and I just can't bring myself to trust anyone unless they show a hint of doubt over their own thoughts, and that's flat out absent from most social media
idk, I don't think I did a good jb describing what I feel, it's hard to accurately put into words
but like, do you have stuff you usually keep to yourself, because like you know the thought isn't well rounded or something and you don't want to say something incorrect. or like interrogations about stuff you can't really answer by yourself
Legitimately everything. Almost.
I think that a philosophical position of accepting deep uncertainty is the most humble and correct way to go about the world. Anyone who claims to have all the answers wrapped up in one neat little package is lying—to you, and to themselves.
The world is stochastic, and complex, and the future is inherently unpredictable. While we are probably safe to believe firmly in some basic truths, they should be few in number and constantly, honestly re-evaluated.
Be wary of those who are extremely certain, because they likely haven’t done much meaningful self-crit lately.
Species have a right to exist. Beings have a right to their basic needs. Much more becomes difficult to say with certainty, so it’s better not to try, and to accept that us short-lived beings cannot possibly develop entirely comprehensive understandings of the huge, massive world in the little time we are given.
