I appreciate your lovely and well thought out articles they always give me pause to reflect on my own perspectives and beliefs. In regards to this article I believe that we are all incompetent in the sense that our reality is man made and guided by the langauge we create to describe it. We are trapped by our own devices. I think that the statement above about befriending our "ignorance" has huge implications for how we approach the problems that we face to day that are larger that the language we have can make sense of. Anyway, thanks for you offering. Dan Kaufman

Thanks for reading, Dan, and for the reminder that our language itself is a construction, so in a sense our ignorance is inherent in the very way we make sense of the world. Such a humbling thought!
