Reply #7: I don't want them to say only what I want them to say. I want them to be honest about what they are

saying. Anything less than thorough self-critical honest analysis is, intentionally or not, of the oppressor. People who don't know/do this may say they're about freedom and problem solving, but repeating the same old patterns only replicates the path which brought us here: power acquisition derived from pontificating absolute truths and predictions, based on exclusively their own selective and biased "knowledge".

We live in a universe of probabilities and yet people pretend that they have such a perfect grasp on ALL factors that their propositions, which BTW likely will vitally HURT more people than they might help, aren't propositions at all, but are rather absolute truths that the rest of us MUST accept or receive the consequences, people's lives be damned. If it's wrong for the Right to do that, then it's wrong for the "Left" to do it too.

All they have to do to get along with me is admit the flaws in their own "knowledge". Probabilities free people. Absolutes oppress.
