This is, of course, a response to the old lie SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLVM. I seem to remember hearing Einstein quoted as saying it is impossible simultaneously to prevent and prepare for war.
I am a skeptic. There is very little that I believe uncritically. <I exist. Other minds exist. My perceptions are generally meaningful and useful (they can successfully predict actions likely to lead to other perceptions.) Pleasure good; pain bad (this applies to other minds as well.)> Pretty much anything else, I will consider what it would mean if it were not true, even if I personally believe it to be true.
