We're always doing some kind of Riemann sum on the universe, but without the ability to use infinite parts.

This is a very poignant statement, and I've never thought about it that way. Great perspective.

At the same time, different experiences and a different perspective on things can also be valuable.

It's hard sometimes to hear other perspective, to be challenged. Depending on one's mindset, it can either motivate or demotivate you. Be knowledge is a strong asset.

By the way, love what you did with your homepage, zampano!

Thanks very much, I appreciate that.

I'm somewhat agnostic on knowledge's power. Not in the "ignorance is bliss" sense, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to avoid the realization about how far beyond us the universe, even our own small parts of it, really is. I often think that God laughs at our plans the way we laugh at the very serious things that small children do.

Thanks once more. I much prefer a [minimalistic](https://thebestmotherfucking.website/) style to web pages, and usually light on dark while I'm at it. If only I didn't have to use Google for the font embed....
