We know nothing, so let's stop pretending.

We, humankind that is, are fooling ourselves. We know nothing about anything! Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that we understand nothing about anything. I am not even sure if we possess the capacity for such understanding.
A bold statement? Perhaps. An original notion? No way. I, as have so many before me, and many in the future, just want to reiterate that simple fact (fact? R U Kidding Me?!?) in an effort to ground our electric egos.
Nothing and anything are BIG words. So are never and always; absolute and forever. Those states don't actually exist. Or if they do, they cannot be fully understood by us. All that we think we know will forever (you liked that, didn't you) be approximations of truth.
On some level, I am okay with that. On another level, it has driven me and continues to drive me insane! This is the basis for this "blog." I will attempt, as much for me as for anyone else, to be a compass in the illusion of this life.
And without further ado....here goes nothing!
