I have to say I struggle with certainty. Certainty appears to me to be more of so many things found on a spectrum. I think certainty comes much more easily to the unsophisticated and the Christian Nationalist. The Christian Nationalist is told what to believe in a church and told what to think on a "news" channel. I don't know how to fit in this world. With people who are certain. There are agendas all around me. They are ill conceived. I tend to see things in the gray, but I'm forced to respond to the certainty of others.

It probably should be seen as on a spectrum, but then it is not "certainty." It is more or less believable and isn't believability a matter of action, i.e. how seriously do I take this "signal."

Let's look at that Nunez, whatever his faults. He fell into a valley of functional ignorance. It was a bubble that, though the people of the valley are able to function somewhat, are limited with gaps in knowledge of the world around them. They are hostile to thoughts and ideas that don't come from within.
