THe unexamined life may not be worth living. It is bad logic to infer from this that the examined life is any different.
Similarly, my not liking the fact that I don’t know is hardly evidence that I really do know.
Hard to criticise, perhaps, but worth the effort. The best criticisms are the hard criticisms done well. That we do not get an A for effort alone does not suggest that we get an A without effort.

Fair enough. I share that perspective. I guess mostly I’m imagining that it becomes hard to criticize those who do jump off the bridge.
