Realism and the foot of our stairs

We can argue over almost anything, maybe everything.  My years in science gave me a doctorate and the firm belief I am a tropical fish realist.  I’m still no good at many facets of gardening and have never amounted to much more than a Jack of all trades.  I’d guess that most of our problems arise because people can’t accept this of themselves (other than in false modesty).

There is no need to know everything.
