Peopleโs heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

If it doesn't work out, that's fine. If it does, terrific. Either way, I lose nothing for trying."

It's an ugly circle and there's nothing you can do about it.

But she gets into trouble enough or she fails enough, like when she does poorly in a primary, what do they chalk it up to? Sexism, like Don Lemon did. Sexism.
