I believe ideas have consequences. If somebody thinks he's an insignificant blob in the universe, he will always feel terrible. If he thinks that he can achieve whatever he wants just by thinking happy thoughts, he will be deluded and frustrated.

There are many issues about which we need to be clear and certain. To default to undertainty and doubt is spiritual suicide.

I hope that people can take ideas more seriously, and to analyse and evaluate their ideas, rather than accept them at face value, or go with the flow of cultural values and beliefs.

I ultimately believe that subjectivism is destructive, and would hope that subjectivists entertain the possibility that subjectivism is not what it pretends to be, and to re-activate their minds, so that they can see reality for what it is...
