I don't think getting there or speculating if CC has a place in this world are where your energies must be focused. It feels like you're reflecting but being extremely nihilistic about the entire thing. I remember one of our discussions at SGB you mentioned to another person in a discussion that you can't reverse engineer an outcome. It feels like you're forgetting your own point. Purpose and meaning are derived and crafted during a journey, you're too early to pin down on anything. Why pin down at all? Life's more fun that way.

Yes, well, that's a luxurious perspective for me at the moment. You are right – it is 'nihilistic' but that's what it is, and that's okay too.

I'm too far down my own rabbit hole for pretty words to make a difference. But thanks for the recall to my own advocacy, I can safely say that it was a rather naive stance.

Goals I understand, purpose might be an endless process, reshaping and reconfiguring as you work. Cetainity about anything is quite fleeting if you consider the time we spend working as a whole. I reccomend reading You and Your research by Richard Hamming.

As always, I'm rooting for you.
