@rebeccabe,

"Ambition" ... to get people to "reality-test" ... to subject their ideas and beliefs to peer review so as to distinguish facts from fancy. As human beings, we all have a huge problem with cognitive biases. This was Plato's great insight about setting up the Academy ... that "surviving the crucible of dissenting minds" yielded better ideas. Poor bugger, though ... Aristotle just had to be one of his students, and he redefined the word dissent.

Remember to dance and have fun too. Life is a dance.

That is an excellent piece of advice, and one I am apt to forget. Feel free to remind.
