Our side bias...

I discuss why smart people believe stupid things. Stupid can be traced to the Latin for ignorance. Omnis cum in tenebris praesertim vita laboret. We understand these 'things' not when sought, but when practiced and found. So many scholars without experience. Nietzsche again. It is acceptance of uncertainty that is our way through, amor fati. He chose Latin, a little language, to share this intimately complicated truth of existence.
