I Wouldn't Be Any Worse Than That

By -
When I'm in a karaoke bar, I usually don't get the courage to go up there until someone really awful goes. Then I don't feel as if I'm wasting the crowd's time.

As I was reflecting on this, I realized that this is my approach to life in general. I have done a lot of stuff in the last few years (take care of an infant, buy a house, start a business, forecast interest rates) that would have terrified my 20-year-old self.

And how did I overcome that feeling of inadequacy? It's certainly not that I got more competent (though I did). It's rather that I realized all the other people currently doing those things, don't know what the h*ll they're doing either.

While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
