They believe that an openness to alternative perspectives is the mark of an educated and sophisticated intellect. So they try on many different philosophies and lifestyles, be it socialism, libertarianism, environmentalism, neoconservatism, chastity, polyamory, or what have you. But over time, the search and the trials become devoid of any meaning beyond a shallow dilettantism. Eventually, one has to pick a path in order to progress, even if that means forgoing equally interesting paths. The single window is the view out of your mind's eye that looks only down the one path you choose. This doesn't mean that any one single window is better than the others. It means that if you don't pick a single window, you'll never get out of the house.

This doesn’t mean that any one single window is better than the others. It means that if you don’t pick a single window, you’ll never get out of the house.
