Maybe you are at a certain level of your life where you have enough sophistication and understanding and you're good at reading people and you can recognize bullshit.
But maybe you have enough for that, but maybe the next one will get you.
Maybe there's one that's a little bit better.
And, you know, it's kind of a church, but it's a rock and roll kind of thing.
Especially if you're rationalizing everything that you do and every idea that you have as being the correct idea, which is why it's so dangerous.
Your value, your worth should not be entirely your ideas.
Because you could be hanging on to a bad idea.
And then you have to cling on to it and defend it.
You can't say, oh, that idea was bad.
That's what's stupid about it.
It doesn't have to be that way.
You can just think of them as ideas.
But if you irrationally defend an idea, then it is you.
