You keep rattling on with this stuff, asserting things you have NO WAY
of knowing, and you imagine it's true because you like the sound of your
voice, or the keyboard keys, or something. If you really knew how much

Ye Gods how you're trapped in your own bullshit! You imagine you have
it all worked out or something, and you have no humility. Why do
adolescents always embarrass themselves this way?
