Everyone is more skilled than I at things they do better, and you are as capable of reason as any. I am touched by your kind regard.

If you seek the skills that deter predators I mentioned above, they're easy enough to acquire. Just tremble in your terror at night, alone in the stygian dark woods where wild predators hunt, as I have. You will find the great desire to be secure from such predation will incline you to defend your person with the best available technology to do so, which isn't pepper spray or little bells on your pack.

Fear is your very best friend in the world, but you must listen carefully to understand what it has to say. That means you must give it occasion to speak to you, by being in harms' way from time to time. The alternative is the equivalent of a padded cell, and that's no place to live your life.

You've given me a lot to think about, thank you for your attention.

I will die without free allies. I am happy you are thoughtful. Care may keep you free, and that makes you my ally. Thanks for defending liberty.
