Beware of those who don’t get nuance, who want their truths to be simple, and act as if they really are; who seek laws before theories and theories before heuristics to explain what is uncertain.

Beware of those who confuse choice with free will; who do not understand the importance of circumstances and the role of randomness.

Beware of those who are afraid to be alone with their own thoughts, who never take the time to appreciate the extent of their ignorance, and be happy about it; who can never go for a walk and wander without surrendering their creative faculties to an earpiece.

Beware of those who show no moderation; the “free spirits”, outspoken and unfiltered; the name-droppers, virtue signalling, status-seeking pseudo deep thinkers whose last original thought was in fourth grade.

Beware of those who have many enemies and those who have too few; of those who have no friends, and those who have too many.

Beware of those who argue nothing is knowable; of those who have the circumstances always against them; of the creative types who are unwilling to learn from others before them; of those who are afraid to lose an argument, so never get into one.
