In "The Human Division" by John Scalzi, a toast is made that reflects arrogance and a sense of superiority. The speaker celebrates being right constantly, suggesting that this position is not only desirable but almost a divine or historical achievement. This sentiment is shared by those around the speaker, as they clink glasses in agreement, indicating their camaraderie in this bold claim.
This moment highlights themes of pride and collective belief in one's infallibility. The mention of seeking forgiveness from God and history implies a recognition of the potential consequences of such hubris. It suggests that while they may bask in their certainty, there is an underlying awareness of the moral weight of their convictions.
