i'm searching for truth. but i haven't even decided where to look for it. but since reading first derrida and later camus i have begun to evaluate the idea that there is no truth out there.

sometimes i am like a little child, crying out: "i want my noumenon!!" of course this hasn't worked as of yet.

i like the wikipedia

i consider the wikipedia to be some kind of "book of books". wikipedia accounts for 85% of my online time. and no other site in the world has such great pages.
