a walk on a slippery rock

"Philosophy can really give us nothing permanent to believe either; it is too rich in answers, each canceling out the rest. The quest for meaning is foredoomed. Human life means nothing. But that is not to say that it is not worth living" --Peter DeVries "Young people are too all-or-nothing, too certain: I've always felt that I must never be too completely sure of what is right. Let belief be tempered by discretion." -- J.K. Galbraith
