The Road to Perdition and the Curse of Knowledge.

I’ve started reading Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath and Dan Heath which is a fascinating book for me as an educator, and as a post-mormon. I will write more about it, and how I feel it relates to being a skeptic among credulous believers in one or more future posts.

A couple of days ago my wife playfully brought up my apostasy and skepticism over something, I don’t recall what. It was a situation where instead of feeling sensitive I was able to respond with what I hoped was humor. I said that I’m on the road to hell but since all the roads there are paved with good intentions, the trip would likely be fairly pleasant.

    That’s funny, Dathon. It’s fabulous how you merge humor and manners.

  2. That’s great! I wish I knew if your wife was still a believing Mormon or not, and if she found your humor as funny as I did.

    My wife is a liberal believer. She obviously has a well developed sense of humor.
