There's more than confidence here. Makes a good target for rhet analysis, from the genre (what is it? manifesto? statement of belief?) to arguments based in sentence style. Lots of diexsis from the very beginning. Appeals to foundation myths. Direct address to the reader as you ... very complex and very suspect, especially the ethos.

Consider the rhet sit here. Lots of variables, as how did the reader get here - by search or accident (search), on what kind of device is she working, the possible goals - as this seems a goal driven situation.
