- josephg 5y agoI’ve always thought about it as: every tool you have, your shadow has that tool also. If you’re convincing, you can convince yourself. If you’re cynical, you’ll be quietly cynical about your own capacity in the world too. Any reality distortion fields we project outwards have ourselves at the epicentre.
