You are strongly encouraged to involve your cognitive systems while reading my blog. Your affective systems are likely to feel occasionally under assault. This is not actually my fault. You may have allowed yourself to believe things that under close examination develop into cognitive dissonance. Please do not respond to this discomfort by involving your conative systems and endeavor to cancel me. I have a family to take care of. I seek only truth. My only demand is the freedom to examine ideas in search of it.

I have the epistemic modestly to know I am often wrong in ways both large and small. Do you?
