I am firm in my belief in radical personal sovereignty.

I am also firm in my belief that we are epically inadequate in the help we give those who are suffering and we need to fix that. But that fact does not in fact erode my belief in radical personal sovereignty and in fact just about my entire moral and ethical conception of the universe is based in that.

So it's something I'm pretty dug-heels-in stubborn about, and . . . yeah. End sermon to choir etc. But yeah.
