Yes, I should be more generous in offering reassurance. I should more often indicate to people that they can still be clever even if someone else happens to learn an important truth before they do. That they can still be cool if they acknowledge an uncomfortable truth. That they can still be safe even if 5% of the world are psychopaths. That they won’t be gunpoint-audited if they speak out against income tax. Er, scratch that last one, I can offer no such reassurance.
