Isn’t it nice to know a lot?

When things feel grey, out of our control or unpredictable, the human spirit works overtime to move us towards certainty. We would rather know the truth in its entirety and be absolutely unshaken in our version if reality than live in the tension of life. So we move to polarities: everything and everyone is either all good or all bad. Communities are categorized into predictable boxes, and are expected to stay there. We become experts on the experts and declare our version of expertise to be the real expertise.
