Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both.

Your position then is pretty bad.

Consider radiation as something to be treated with respect, avoided when practicable, and accepted when inevitable.
Ralph LappThe latest trade of a security creates a dangerous illusion that its market price approximates its true value. This mirage is especially dangerous during periods of market exuberance. The concept of "private market value" as an anchor to the proper valuation of a business can also be greatly skewed during ebullient times and should always be considered with a healthy degree of skepticism.
Seth KlarmanReagan took an approach to the Cold War dramatically different from any other US President. To wit, he thought we should win. This was a fresh concept.

It's absurd.
Burt RutanIt is often said that experiments should be made without preconceived ideas. That is impossible. Not only would it make every experiment fruitless, but even if we wished to do so, it could not be done. Every man has his own conception of the world, and this he cannot so easily lay aside. We must, example, use language, and our language is necessarily steeped in preconceived ideas. Only they are unconscious preconceived ideas, which are a thousand times the most dangerous of all.

Friedrich NietzscheHe had no idea where the stereotype of dumb giggly blondes came from.

If we amplify everything we hear nothing.
