While I think you're right that being committed to your own sense of rightness can lead you to great personal power -- witness all the people we've listed in this thread; regardless of how you or I judge them, they achieved a great deal of power (such as it is), didn't they? -- I also believe that being 100% convinced of your own righteousness and 0% committed to being open to the possibility that something else would work better is a great way to keep yourself tethered in the darkness of what you don't know you don't know.

I'd rather be free.
Good, I'm glad you are 100% committed to being free.

And killing each other is dumb, it wont lead to freedom, it will end humanity. I'm 100% certain, and I don't want to kill anyone, or get anyone to do it. I'll say no. Not worth playing word games over.

I'm going to bed, to my awesome lady, tethered as I am in my awesome house, listening to the ocean, feeling awesome. And I'll send some sincere love Britney's way.
