The Ten Entreaties

entreaty: to ask a person earnestly and seriously to do something

Remember that

1. Humans are easy to fool (especially you).

2. Very few things are certain, but some things we do know.

3. Science is the best tool we have for understanding the world.

4. Everyone has gaps in their knowledge and understanding.

5. Today’s authority is tomorrow’s snot-nosed kid.

6. The world is full of beautiful people and interesting things.

7. It’s great to eat, drink and be merry, but not so much if you have to get up and work in the morning.

8. Before your dad’s sperm met your mom’s egg, that’s what it was like to be dead.

9. All things are funny, in context.

10. Your worldview is not reality, but it does determine how you navigate the world. So pick a good one.
