I was looking around and noticing how impressed all of us
are with ourselves and how much we know and our viewpoints, myself
included, and it occured to me how little I do know. How truly sad and
uneducated I am, and how untenable my thoughts are in their shallowness.
(Now, before you savage me like a wolf exposing his throat to the pack,
hold on.) It seems that I think I know something, when in fact, I do not.
Socrates was right. I know nothing. There is nothing that I have seen that
I can be sure of, nothing I have felt that cannot be mistaken, nothing
that I have read that cannot be a lie. Perhaps the world is flat. I don't
have the knowledge to truly say. I know absolutely nothing.
And therefore, I finally found a kernel of wisdom to call my own.
Or at least one I can steal from the greeks like so many before me.

Hey, everybody, relax. Insults don't make you correct, and being right is
transitory when you end up dead anyway. Not that I actually know that
death is the end.
