To confess your fallibility and then do nothing about it is not humble; it is boasting of your modesty.

Your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality. If you are equally good at explaining any outcome, you have zero knowledge.

It is triple ultra forbidden to respond to criticism with violence. There are a very few injunctions in the human art of rationality that have no ifs, ands, buts, or escape clauses. This is one of them. Bad argument gets counterargument. Does not get bullet. Never. Never ever never for ever.

Remember, if you succeed in everything you try in life, you're living below your full potential and you should take up more difficult or daring things.

Let the winds of evidence blow you about as though you are a leaf, with no direction of your own. Beware lest you fight a rearguard retreat against the evidence, grudgingly conceding each foot of ground only when forced, feeling cheated. Surrender to the truth as quickly as you can.

You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.

That which the truth nourishes should thrive.
