As my friend, Dave, was recounting to me the events of a conference he went to recently. He made a passing comment on a featured speaker talking about how much something cost to set up at the conference. Dave probably shared a million things about that conference, but this one thing just stuck in my head.
"Why did he even mention that something cost a lot to set up at the conference? Why did he even talk about it?" Then, I countered myself and thought, "You know, the speaker probably didn't spend that much time talking about it, he probably only mentioned it. Maybe I'm making too much of this."
This might seem like a small process to most (all), but for me it was a little reminder that I was changing. A few months ago, as I was reading a book called Stories of Emergence, I was inspired to become a critical realist. Without getting into it that much, I mean it as I'm critical of my perception of reality, knowing that I have a bias that I cannot humanly get around.
So, there you go, I'm a cynic, but only in that I'm cynical of my perception of reality. Good times.
there is no "I" in CYNIC...
