"Like police detectives who go undercover and become too attached to the trappings of the criminal underworld to ever return from it, so too are logicians drawn in by sophisms.”

I've already got rid of the FitBit (it's a Google-owned surveillance device). The other reforms are still in place. (I honestly don't know whether they are rational, alas.)

Replying to @jehsmith
I'm interested in how the radical honestly is going. My own recently got me permanently cut off from a loved one (& he's not the first) but I've never really tried the alternative (not psychologically capable) so I'm curious what it would be like to choose to be like this.
