    I know this is intended as a shitpost, but it points to a very deep epistemological problem. By definition, everyone thinks any given opinion of theirs is right (if they didn’t, then that wouldn’t be their opinion). But of course not everyone can have all the right opinions all the time

      I actually had that thought as I was posting this. I was mocking people who are arrogant about their beliefs and refuse to be proven wrong, but I was also thinking about this paradox that every person believes each of their opinions to be correct yet also knows they can’t all be correct

    I know this doesn’t happen for everyone but for me it was when I became a father.

    I believe that V. I. Lenin communed with Satan and received his unholy word, and so everything he wrote was pure lies.

    Lies are actually good, according to my twisted, warped morality.

    Whenever I encounter a question about anything, I just consult my unholy texts and blindly accept whatever I read.

    If the answer’s not in there, I declare the person who asked it to be a treasonous heretic.

    I actually love treason and heresy so sometimes we end up making out. But only if it’s gay.

    I’m genderfluid so whether it’s gay or not depends on which gender I am atm, which is an open question. And whenever I encounter a question, I read Lenin about it.

    I can’t find the answer and now I’m trapped in an endless loop where all I do is read Lenin and question my gender. And that loop’s name?

    Samsara.

    Thank you for coming to my poetry reading.

    I pull my bed covers over my head and huff my own farts until I see stars then the universe lets me know that I’m correct about everything

    I’m always wrong, so I take my initial opinion I truly believe and then I choose to hold the opposite of that opinion.

    Always being wrong though means that my choice to hold the opposite opinion is also wrong therefore it makes my initial opinion correct.
