   A humble suggestion: Load up contradictory thoughts or points of view, and think about them as you walk. Here's a starter pack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2a-DsX9Ezg

   I don't want to tell you what you should get out of this; it took me a long time to understand what 'dialectic' means. This may be intro level material to many people, but not everyone gets to go to a four year college, or gets raised in an open-minded community.

   Reading someone else's philosophy is often a chore. Often people just want the best answer, or the truth.

   When I deploy a software system, can I say that it will work? Or can I say that it is working right now?

   I can't write software that will work a year from now. I have no idea what the world will look like in a year. Specifically, patches are applied and versions change.

   The best answer is almost always contingent on context. We can have shared evidence, but proof is internal to one mind.
