some aspects I find wonderful and inspiring; others, I find dreadful and unacceptable. (2) Do I deliberately reject "reality"?

Yes, I think that, in certain situations, we may have a moral obligation to attempt to accomplish things which every logical analysis suggests are at best unlikely and perhaps even utterly impossible

Now, it's your turn! So, basically, you just decided that whenever somebody says something you don't understand, you should set out to insult them and mischaracterize what they say, because it makes you uncomfortable and you don't like that? Maybe it's good to frankly admit that, but can't you think of a better way to proceed?
