“The same delusion of mistaking
irreverence for ignorance makes people confuse
skepticism for nihilism.” (Fooled by Randomness, Nassim Nicholas
Taleb)
for years his irreverence has
been mistaken for ignorance skepticism
for nihilism
neither however
is to say that he hadnt been ignorant (he tried very hard not to be)
or a nihilist (he tried very hard not to
be)
he groped and picked at the dirt
to tease out any ignorance (before he spoke) and
nihilism (before he acted)
he could say it would be less
tedious
and consume less effort
to simply be either
THEN
he
would be no better off than what or they who inspire him to combat
or check them down with lists of
irrevocable fact
but his lust and fealty to
Confrontation informed and afforded his combative Nature
there is nothing he loved more
than a good fight (thatd be a lie
-- restate) there is nothing
he
loved more than winning a good fight (hed lost too many to be blithe or
nonchalant -- it is
hard to smile with your lip busted nose
leaking eyes swollen or blackandblue)
which isnt to say that all his
fights were had with fists
although to confess he had a
strong predilection for hard heads knocks and raw knuckles
it seemed abuse rendered quick
deliberation and solution
