In that case, my favorite post is Universal Law. Starts strong. Ends strong. The middle is great too.

In particular, I like this transition.

The idea of a rule with literally no exceptions seems insanely rigid, the product of closed-minded thinking by fanatics so in the grip of their one big idea that they can't see the richness and complexity of the real universe.

This is the customary accusation made against scientists - the professional students of the richness and complexity of the real universe . . .
