Thank you as always, Dr. N. The sense organs send 11 million bits of information/second to the brain and the brain can manage to handle about 50 bits/second of that. Nice image of you with your lamp – and you are so right about the futile. With our perception so limited, we are left to fill in the gaps to make a story out of the bits that makes any sense. Fifty out of 11 million bits, and the rest is imagination. What is truth? You do the math.

I myself find more comforting skepticsm rather than be self-deluded by enchantment in the moment. Like Diogenes, to me it seems more honest to just wander with my lamp searching for a man of Truth (even if that path is futile for mere mortals).
