Here's an odd topic I wish to discuss.
I have certain beliefs about my world. The problem I have with this is that I'm very sure about what I believe. Certain things such as hard determinism(Every physical action is caused by some prior action), agnosticism, freedom of speech UNLESS your words deliberately and needlessly harm (Muhammed cartoons, anyone?), evolution, etc.
If I run some of these beliefs through brutally honest critique, like I often do, they still seem to hold. I am 23 and have a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Common sense tells me that I should not have final answers regarding anything.
My concern is that I see myself as a headstrong and naive guy who's got alot to learn, but at the same time, I cannot find flaws in my thinking.
I know I must be wrong about some or all of my beliefs, but currently, I don't see how. I'm worried I might not have any more intellectual revalations as I age.
Have any of you been in this position? Can you remember a time when you were so headstrong about your beliefs and how it affected your interaction with the world? Should I worry? What can I expect in the future?
If this gets promoted at all, I'll be happy with any category.
