And those people will not be walking alongside me, standing up for the freedom of their fellow countrymen. That's fine. I'd rather focus on collectivizing with those who are principled.

Thing is, principles differ from wisdom. The latter implies that changing your mind while growing is possible.

[soulofmischief]

Are you implying that principles stand in opposition to growth or wisdom? That a wise man cannot be principled?

[nuancebydefault]

In the narrow sense of principle, indeed principles can stand in the way of wisdom. A more wide definition of principle could be that you have them, but that they can change out of, for example, wisdom.

Principles are 'wrong' just like scientific models are wrong. Over time, scientific models get replaced by other models that are less wrong.

What I want to say actually : there is no Right or Meaning just like there is no Truth. There's only (wise) man's search for it.

It may be the wise man's search, but it's possibly a fool's errand as well :)
