With this fallible human mind, and occupying only this tiny dot of perspective in space and history, I can't really bring myself to eloquently boast I'm RIGHT. Not actually doing this because it's right in a MORAL sense, but it's the only selfish rational thing to do -- to spare the time and energy from defending against A SINGLE STATE in my ever-flowing stream of cognition, instead I'd rather use that time and energy to move forward.

Time is finite for everyone, time spent on expressing would of course detract from thinking.

But then of course, this freedom is granted to ME now cuz I'm not in a position where I have to be self-assured all the time in order to push forward to GET things, to make a living.

When it's a job, I guess you have no room for doubt? cuz you're presenting the PRODUCT, you're presenting whatever you have or know as the END STATE, you can't say I know 'this is not good enough' etc etc.
