the difficulty

"Reading both social media and blog conversations among philosophers, I often feel demoralized.  The people who speak most and most insistently seem not only to be absolutely clear about what they think, but think there is no other legitimate, respectable, or even moral way to think."
--Amy Olberding

"I now think that online discussions of difficult issues tend to do more harm than good."
--Jennifer Mather Saul

"There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas."
--Susan Cain

"The only thing I know is that I know nothing."
--Socrates
