Are you familiar with the Socratic method? Care to discuss epistemological certainty or ontological awareness? Perhaps the nature of interrelationship inherent in any definition and the fact that all logic is inescapably circular? In an infinite reality there is always more to discover and what we don't know will always far exceed what we do. Wisdom is not a noun, but a verb, for it can exist only in action. It can not be kept or given away. It can only be continually rediscovered thru a process of skepticism, acceptance, and renewed skepticism. Oh yes, and Zen... :]

Given that you are familiar with it, and given my interest, and given our ongoing conversation, does it not then stand to reason that we will inevitably discuss a topic upon which we disagree? Would it not then follow that our conversation should eventually lead to a discussion of certainty? Would it not be incumbent upon us to resolve this matter before arriving at a satisfactory answer about anything? :D
