Every community has its biases, and everywhere there's a tendency for complex factors to combine and simplify into attractive patterns.

In the end, even I can't escape bias. And when I realize how ignorant I am, I feel like I have no choice but to live face to face with how pathetic I am.

Even if I'm aware of my bounded rationality and ignorance, there are still moments when I fail to recognize even that ignorance. I feel like I just have to live with the awareness of how contradictory a being I am

The path of virtue requires we recognize and appreciate the grace that lies in being humbled by our own stupidity.
