Do you ever wonder how you know what you know? Do you ever wonder what of it is genuine? After all, we know what we know because other people tell us these things. Granted, in academics, it's scientific, thus accepted as facts, usually describing the world around us somehow. And we know how we got to know that, because we see the studies behind them.
But are you ever intriqued, that you could actually expand the knowledge of everyone? If you can contribute to the body of knowledge, you'd be giving more information, say it's useful. Does that intrique you? It excites me in many ways excluding sexual arousal.
Do you wonder why you liked some things as a kid but now you don't? We got a bit of a blizzard here, I was walking home and it felt crap. Then I thought, why? As a kid, I used to love this. Why does it feel like a crappy thing now? Is it crappy? Is it because now I know why it snows, and more about the weather and facts behind it? So I can't be curious about it anymore? I mean, the kids who work at the insurance companies and banks are the ones who never asked why it snows, they just thought it snows. Why is it inevitable, that the natural curiosity of all things die a bit with more experience?
I'm very excited these days, because I found out that there is a possibility, that I might be able to use ALL the stuff I've studied (and thus like in the first place) in one single job. How is it possible to combine all that stuff? If I get to do my own research, I can. That excites me. A contribution to the collective body of knowledge. Not only giving results from a study, but the whole process is unique, framework chosen unique, involves cultural aspects (Asia), business, work place things (how do we work, why do we work the way we do etc.), IT security and geoinformatics. How is it possible? Well it is, and should I be granted the opportunity, it will be a contribution, and _definitely_ of interest to many parties, so there's an opportunity to become a real author. And make money. And do the things I like, not just one, but all of them.
So the question is, do you ever wonder these things? I mean sure, briefly, but do you take the time to truly analyze it, and go further? Do you ever wonder who you are, beyond name, age, job title and colour of your hair? Who are you? Don't give me identification data, just tell me who you are. Do you know? If you love to eat the ass of a man, please reply wtf pekka. Why is it easier for me to describe you, than for you to do it yourself? Isn't it a sign that you should study yourself more? Do you ever think, that the body of knowledge and how we know things grows as the process of life continues, but without us? People die, people are born, but the knowledge lives. Do you wonder if there comes a point, where the body of knowledge has become big enough that life just isn't a pretty straigh forward process, a cycle? I don't mean that we can become immortal, I mean in a way where that collection of information becomes an entity itself?
Do you ever equate knowledge with freedom? Freedom from the society, freedom from others and their opinion of you, the freedom of actually realizing more options that given? Or is it just a state of mind? The more I know, the more I feel free. The more I see people who don't know, the more restricted they are in my eyes. Not in a condescending way, but in a way of more limitations applies.
What is colour blue? Can you describe it to the blind? What is music, can you write it down so the deaf will have an idea? If there was no God, no after life, no judgement, and everyone knew this, woudl the amount of murders go up? Would people start stealing more? Would there still be the same amount of wars, less or more?

(I was wondering when you'd get around to pre-empting the wtf's, good job on that too!
