Giving Up Thinking Errors

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. there are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. it doesn't work.
Children People Adults
So multifarious are the different classes of truths, and so multitudinous the truths in each class, that it may be undoubtingly affirmed that no man has yet lived who could so much as name all the different classes and subdivisions of truths, and far less anyone who was acquainted with all the truths belonging to any one class. what wonderful extent, what amazing variety, what collective magnificence! and if such be the number of truths pertaining to this tiny ball of earth, how must it be in the incomprehensible immensity!

There are also two kinds of truths, those of reasoning and those of fact. truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible, and those of fact are contingent and their opposite is possible. when a truth is necessary its reason can be found by analysis, resolving it into more simple ideas and truths until we reach those which are primitive.

My first program taught me a lot about the errors that i was going to be making in the future, and also about how to find errors. that's sort of the story of my life, making errors and trying to recover from them. i try to get things correct. i probably obsess about not making too many mistakes.
Mistake Errors Trying
The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane.
Errors People Facts
So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not christian charity; it is only fairness. to be a christian means to forgive the inexcusable in you.
Christian Mean Forgiving
Our enemy is not lack of preparation; it’s not the difficulty of the project or the state of the marketplace or the emptiness of our bank account. the enemy is our chattering brain, which, if we give it so much as a nanosecond, will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self-justifications and a million reasons why we can’t/shouldn’t/won’t do what we know we need to do.
Self Giving Preparation
Sometimes perception is almost more important than the skill level of an actor. and if you give too much away, you have nothing to take for yourself and put onscreen. if people feel like they know you too well, they won't be able to indentify with the character you're trying to portray. or they'll feel that you're just playing yourself, and then you just become a personality actor. and that's the death of any actor.
