Philosophical Musings 113-116

113) Bragging in a light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek manner is almost certainly a far less harmful form of egoism than the need to have the last word when bullying through the expression of an opinion.


114) Abandoning the need "to be in the right" is a huge step on the path to genuine understanding.


115) If you think you can choose pragmatism before Conscience then your "pragmatism" will hardly be pragmatic.


116) Our attitude towards what is called "superstition" can indeed feed us with fanciful naiveté but it can also close our minds to the things that we do not understand.
