Oh! :-)

Please, consult "The Society of Mind".

Yes. Thank You.

I am embarressed, to say the least. This is how I feel (every day):

Only goal-oriented discipline is practical.

Yes. Chasing the goose seems my cup of tea more than anything, though.

You only aspire to knowledge? Did you mistate your goal? If by
knowledge you refer to a record of information, then mere rocks are
knowledgable as they contian records of past meteorological and
geological information.

I aspire to comprehend knowledge.

True.

I chose the word "never" specific to my comprehension of the word
"truth". Truth implies a method or perpetual seeking of something
elusive and unobtainable. It has even been suggested that truth exists
in an alternative realm, which would negate any possibility of finding
it in our present environments. My comprehension of truth is that it is
a paradigm, blue-print, template to which humans compare ideas to.
Those ideas that most closely match the paradigm of truth are the ones
accepted as such, despite any remaining flaws in human reasoning.

This is very deep.

I contain much knowledge. So did/does D. Hilbert.
I comprehend little of such knowledge. Most likely so did/does D.
Hilbert.
I strive to comprehend the knowledge I gain. Not apparantly so with D.
Hilbert.

Imho, Hilbert strived for truth. I do not believe you strive for less,
Jason.

Kindest regards,
