BUT keep Chesterton’s Fence in mind: if you don’t know why there is a wall on your way, don’t go blindly smashing it down. It might be there for a reason. First make absolutely sure you know why the wall exists in the first place; only then you may proceed with the smashing.
My time among the Earthlings has yielded a strange new insight. These creatures are so spiritually ignorant that they have never even heard of the most sacred text, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (wthdytia). They may not even have yet acquired the Power of the Spiral at all. This explains much about the existential terror in which most of them live their lives, and it will be a pleasure to show them the Right Way.

And when someone tries to be the wall the stands in your way, you’ll have something that will open a hole in them every time: your drill.
(In a related matter, if there’s a wall in your way, smash it down. If there isn’t a path, carve one yourself.)

Just who the hell do you think we are!?
I like the sentiment, but you do realize that breaking walls has costs.
Dear Journal,
