From your complicated background, it sounds like you might have enough material for a memoir or an autobiographical novel.

Fortress of Certitude? Do I come across as self-righteous or sanctimonious in my writing? I write out my views and defend them when warranted. I've engaged in several lengthy debates with readers and posted the exchanges. Of course I think that what I'm writing is true; otherwise, I'd be writing in bad faith.

But not every writer goes to the epistemic level to consider the nature of truth. That's when a writer can humble himself, and it's why I see my writings as little more than artworks. My pragmatism, cosmicist pantheism, and aesthetic morality entail that artists should be humble. No piece of writing corresponds to reality since our concepts simplify in the act of understanding. Therefore, certainty (and egoism) are for the unenlightened.

But humility isn't the same as being a pushover.
