Which is why I suspect that it is not uncommon that I find myself aligned on
issues with the religionists. We come to humility from different
directions, perhaps. But it's where we end up together.
Growing up, I was always resentful that it seemed to be the blustering
braggart who got the girl. Confidence!
Confidence is easy, if you ignore enough of what's around you.
I have no confidence in anything I am saying. Or in PyGeo, for that matter.
Too smart for that.
