Well in the good old days we used to brag out about our high scores as a sign of prowess. When you get older you realize just how trivial it all is. Who the hell is interested in my black belt in IK+ these days?
In that sense there's nothing new under the sun.

Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.
