I am with you, 100%, especially on needing to hang onto fewer convictions the older I get. I think this topic fascinates me (I wrote my lit dissertation on Victorian convictions!) for the same reason as you, looking back at all the cringeworthy things I defended in my youth. Like the paper “disproving” evolution that I wrote for my 7th grade biology teacher. 🫣

That was me, 100%. The number one thing I’m thinking as I read your comment is how much I wish we were friends IRL. :)
I think I wrote the same paper. I’d been brainwashed to believe evolution wasn’t provable 🙄
