# Slash Speculation --- # Speculation ***speculation** — a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence* I do not like to drift into **speculation**. This is a mental-state that is only achieved in a day dream, or mid-conversation during heated arguments when you start citing truths you are not certain are true or not, but it *feels right* because your beliefs are being tested in the moment. This happens most often during political conversations and those surrounding popular religions. <span class="bearming-curve"></span> > A wise old owl lived in an oak, > The more he saw the less he spoke, > The less he spoke, the more he heard, > Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?
