new year

communication.
we are certainly hardwired for it
one way or another.
but we are also easily duped.
'pretending to' is so much easier in the short term.
in the end, we are found out:
and enlightenment can be surprisingly grim.

the scientists ask how
while the philosophers concentrate on why.
both groups seeking truth through questions
building diligently upon the work of their predecessors.

but isn't the how in the why
and the why in the how?
and aren't the answers (the good ones, that is) already present in the questions?
and what can we do when we have the answers except ask some more questions?
is this a sensible way to live?

no.
asking questions can be such a bad habit
and most certainly will not lead to real knowledge.
