Biography: I believe there are many ways of dividing sets, and one of them is people who work hard to maintain accurate and connected views of the world, and those who seem to believe what feels right to them. I like being told I'm wrong for the same reason that I like cognitive dissonance; it is the comforting bump of being kept on track. So thanks for ignoring my bombastic tone and guiding me when I need it.
