By challenging our own beliefs, questioning them if facts contradict them or reinforcing them if facts confirm them. Not many can do that nowadays. Also, equality of opportunity is fair, but equality of outcome is oppression, but I'll stop there otherwise I might ramble on again. Quote

Enrico_sw Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
