Yeah, it’s all in the facial expressions.

I was gonna say the same! That’s what makes it so difficult to interpret it, because we cannot say how they feel except by reading the subtle hints in their body language, which is vague and easily misunderstood. I guess that’s why these philosophical topics are so difficult, because really there’s a lot going on in the emotions (that tells us how to feel about something, whether to like or dislike a theory) and a lot of it is very subtle, which makes it challenging, also to agree on stuff with other people.

And then there’s this thing:

You and Me, the kind of creatures who want to be our own masters and would rebel even against the universe itself, are a rare kind. Most have to be talked into independence.

Why do you think that other people have to be “talked into” independence? What if you don’t do that? What advantage does it make?
