is that if you know something, like if you know how to play the piano, you have to often mix with people who don’t know but want to start and it means things you know appear ludicrous to them because you have traveled further already and your account of where you got is based on traveling somewhere they have not yet been but they have imaginary ideas about it. this positions you to say with authority what is and isn’t correct but their ability to trust you is not so simple they may even determine you don’t know based on their fantasies and this is the reality. you could be an old woman with parkinsons shaking but you know the answers regarding war because you lived it and the young turk is moving war forward and expecting you to agree with them and what can you do except watch the circle continue to move in a circle.
