I believe there isn’t enough discourse about truth and philosophy and there is too much emphasis on opinions in the US. This brings about a society of dumb and incompetent idea-warriors defending false beliefs.

Competence breeds confidence. There are things we must do otherwise they spill over into other aspects of our life. This spilling over usually indicates a misunderstanding of what we truly want as well as incompetence of that skill (like diet, relationships, or career).

The quote below discusses this problem and the effects of a troubled mind suffering from a lack of knowledge and competence.

“There is no such thing as ‘peaceful stillness’ except where reason has lulled it to rest. Night does not remove our worries: it brings them to the surface. All it gives us is a change of anxieties. For even when people are asleep they have dreams as troubled as their days”
