It seems that what one learns, at least in my case, is determined by what one values, what one considers worth knowing: and what is worth knowing, for me, is that which leads us back to reality, as opposed to the mass of knowledge that is there simply because it is useful, but comes at the price of leading us farther and farther away from reality. This is why I favor the anti-philosophers, the skeptics.

As soon as one expresses something definite one creates its counterargument. This is the nature of finite human expression.

Today’s skeptics are Cartesians who forgot that Descartes needed God.
