*I carry an "I don't know" with me wherever I go, while _also_
   boldly proclaiming what I believe I know, "as if" it were a
   "know".

   Level of certainty that I have depends on the variety of
   evidence I carry generally. Not all of it can I explain
   properly, but usually I can.*

   Yet, I rarely allow myself the luxury of relaxing in pure
   certainty. To me, such an indulgence is reveling in a fantasy
   land, which is fine for the imagination, beliefs in absolute
   truths and perfections are marvelous utopias where "if only
   things were this way, everything would be just so"....

   ...but when it comes to a solid footing, let's just say I'm VERY
   GLAD the pauli exclusion principle keeps me from going through
   this chair towards the center of the Earth. I never fully "know"
   that it will hold me up. I just have to trust that it will.
