But in the quote you presented, when I said "regardless of personality bias", I merely meant that personality bias has nothing to do with ability to be honest with the claim.

It is interesting that you use the word "resonate" as it is a word that is often used on the forums when the poster is evaluating the veracity of someone's claims (be it DW, or any other member of the crop of futurists)
Implied in the use of that word is that if something resonates with someone then it must be true (or might be true), but really the resonance is simply reflecting one's personal biases.
As you said earlier

Further, I would submit that it is only lack of self acceptance that can circumvent this honesty.
rather than using the fact that something resonates with oneself as a gauge of reliability, it would be far more instructive using it to explore one's personality biases.

Considering that "The few whom you will illuminate by sharing your light are far more than enough reason for the greatest possible effort. To serve one is to serve all. Therefore, we offer the question back to you to state that indeed it is the only activity worth doing: to learn/teach or teach/learn." If we are not relating understanding when we teach/learn or learn/teach, then what is being shared?
