That's what flame wars and endless debates are all about. That's what stereotypes are all about. You have a tool you can use, you have a beacon of truth and light, you have wisdom and compassion for your fellow human, that's nice ... but dont bother me while I'm eating.

• bias is everywhere
• greatness and recognition don't always go together
• for every pair of eyes, there is a different way of seeing the world
• sometimes 'the best tool for the job' is whichever one pays their rent
• sometimes 'the best tool for the job' is whichever one strokes their ego
• honorary titles are niether necessary nor sufficient for open-mindedness
• no one is free from being looked down upon by at least *someone*
• no one is free from being admired or envied by at least *someone*
• even a flea-bitten dog is better off than a dead lion
• nothing is as simple as it appears on the outside
• for proof, look in the mirror
