The Time Machine
You travel hundreds of years into the past. You find yourself in the midst of redundant conversations - the brightest people on the planet are fiercely debating the infinite attributes of God.
It is liberating and challenging experience. You have entered a 'smooth space' intellectually: because you realise that these conversations are nonsensical, you are not bound to participate. You do not have strong views on trivia. You are not attached to a particular position in this 'space'. You - dear reader - are untroubled by the infinite attributes of God. Transported back in time you realise that the space in which you are attached to a position has yet to open up.
But what do you do? What would you do? Almost certainly you wouldn't go around challenging people.
