“A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimensions” (Oliver Wendell Holmes, as quoted in New York Vertical, by Horst Hamann)
There are no certainties, only the infinite preexisting variables that, as they enter your ever expanding sphere of awareness render the previous equation incomplete, erroneous or irrelevant, and in any case change the end result, so that there is no definitive right, wrong or moral answer to anything that will hold up to the test of time. How then to move forward from building block to building block with the foreknowledge that you will soon enough disregard all that came before?

Alcohol’s always worked for me

i unfortunately have a legendarily low tolerance to alcohol, going from giddy to drunk in under three glasses, and so never reach a plateau of inebriation sufficient to allow for any kind of usefully uninformed decision making.
