I'm convinced that I don't know. I find the sands that are
  shifting the least under my feet to make my stand. Any rocks I
  find usually ended up being sandcastles, so i had to change
  tactics. == I suffering from excessive awareness of the
  cognitive danger of certainty. Certainty is an emotion that
  feeds into the "logic circuits" and the logic circuits feed back
  into the emotion, reinforcing itself in a feed-forward loop.
  Makes it a little harder to build houses of cards on it but the
  ones I build are pretty sturdy, even if they're messy. == I
  suppose in the end, I'm standing on principle and ethic - they
  may be odd principles and ethics but I do depend on them a lot.
