Philosophies / world views that offer certainties are always suspect in my mind. What replaces them? I read all sorts of books / essays ect. that inspire my world view. Corliss Lamont"s "The Humanist Manifesto" , Karl Marx and Ayn Rand on the same day , Groucho Marx , Science , Gardening and Farming , literature . I recently read Roberto Bolano's "2666" (Wow!).
Basically , I feed my head and don't eat the naked lunch. The opinions of priests, politicians, and sportscasters like Limbaugh and Hannity are not part of my world view. I can not offer any certainties but I know I handle weird times well.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
