I teach natural law from a simple place: we start by admitting what we don’t know.
Not as a slogan, not as a trick, but as something we really internalize. We live with it. We let it sit in our bones.
A lot of people speak with great authority. They sound sure. They hold court.
They tell you what life is, what death is, what the universe is doing and why.
Many of them know, deep down, that they don’t actually know. But they talk like they do anyway.
Knowing that we don’t know is a kind of prophylactic. It protects us from being compromised by those who pretend to have all the answers. Once you accept that some things are truly unknown, you stop being easy to herd.
