I want to give you different answer, which almost everyone will disagree with.
My answer is this - you ALWAYS know what is right or wrong, true or false. You don't need anyone to tell you this. And you certainly don't need "evidence". Evidence is for people who lack imagination. Leaders create their own evidence.
I don't believe you. People don't always know right and wrong. True and false is easier with some practice and the right mind. What is right in one situation can be very wrong in another. Most people's sense of right and wrong are taught by community - I'd give you more merit if right and wrong were indeed universal concepts.
'Creating evidence'... This makes me cringe and brings images of politicians to mind. I believe some pretty odd things sometimes (singularity movment.. 30 years, i'm waiting) but if there is no actual evidence, or if I don't see results in some way, or if it conflicts with science and things with evidence... I'm not likely to believe.
You're just bitter. Life is beautiful. And you have far more power over "reality" than you give yourself credit for. But you value your comfort and your perception of safety far more than you value your power, so you will never be powerful.
Heh. Yeah, I'm a little bitter. I don't see life as all bad, but I know there is a lot of suffering in it. Not all life is beautiful - just like most people are non-evil, but a few of them, they are.
And dude. My own comfort levels? I moved across an ocean and married a man that practices chaos magick (I wound up reading some stuff, and am starting to practice. There was no pressure). I already had Discordian philosophies. I am lucky, and privelidged enough to have a level of freedom beyond what I thought I wanted... and I wouldn't give it up. But you are right. I value my own happiness above power, I'd only take the power over being happy temporarily. Poking at things behind the scenes is just as much fun, even if there is no real power in it.
