On the ratio of known to unknown
Kevin asks: I was promised age would bring wisdom, but that doesn’t seem to be working out in my case. What the hell? Yo. You know what being wrong feels like? It feels like being right. You know what being right feels like? It feels like uncertainty. You don’t get to be right by ignoring …
