I've found a bit of agreement, and a lot of disagreement, as well as pretty clearly defining the difference between my bias (or my model of the world, perhaps) and the conservative one. Still, it's nice to find lucky # 13:\n\n<p>13. The fallibility and limited reach of human reason.\n\n<p>Before I pontificate on this, it's certainly possible, particularly reading this after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/journal\/show-entry.php?Entry_ID=1146\"># 12<\/a>, to read this as an attack on human reason. I don't think it is. Human reason is a marvelous thing, one of the greatest gifts we have (along with the opposable thumb, terrific memories, and the 1940-1942 Ellington \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cootiesjazz.com\/discs\/blantonwebster.htm\">Blanton-Webster<\/a>\" Orchestra). To say that human reason is fallible and limited, is not to say that it is worthless or even secondary. Human reason is beautiful. Human reason is fallible. Human reason is useful. Human reason is powerful. Human reason is limited. Human reason is delightful. Human reason is enduring. Human reason is essential.\n\nThank you,<br>-Vardibidian.\n<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the points of looking in detail at the Conservative Tenets was to see where Your Humble Blogger was in agreement, as well as the dissent.
