conservatism (the overreliance on familiarity) stems from fear, especially when the stakes for one's choices are high. the way to overcome that fear is not (just) risk assessment, but trust. trust that after the choice, it would be better. that's liberty.

Finished Jane Wong’s memoir last night and I was crying-laughing my way to sleep. It’s so beautiful, like looking into a mirror of my own life, and I’m sad I can’t experience it for the first time again.
