Wonderful article on someone who doesn't care for skeptics, but is confident enough in the "truth" of the world that he lives in, and the world that he can create. That truth is a personal belief. And at the end of the day, it is that personal belief that will be tested, if not in this life, than in the hereafter. That personal belief is the one that has to be forged in fears, tears, blood, hope, vision, failure and success of one's own dogma and value sets. To reiterate, that has to be tested, before tested in your own interactions with others, with yourself. Nice quote in the article about Elon Musk finding peace in himself if the project takes too long, if he becomes infirm before SpaceX achieves success.
For me, making peace with myself is my aim now. It's not about recalibrating any more. It is about what I can live with, and what I cannot live without.
