I want to live in a world in which saying “I don't know” is considered more valuable than spewing plausible-sounding nonsense.

@justvanrossum But can you tolerate that others want to live in the other, in another, in their worlds over yours?
I am serious. Dead serious. Can you tolerate that? I’m asking as an internet friend.

@mario “tolerate” is beyond my power, but I will have no understanding for people who *prefer* misinformation over “we don’t know the answer”.
