François, Kookaburra chill@Marabilles @tomgauld.bsky.social i am in this picture and I both like and don't like it
@Marabilles @tomgauld.bsky.social c'est un cycle en fait
@Marabilles @tomgauld.bsky.social je suis a la fin et au debut.
@Marabilles même pas forcément complètement, plutôt un changement de perspective globale
xs4me2Science is asking question, critical questions. And of course realizing that the more one knows, the more questions arise. But mystery, no not really…
My drive is asking relentlessly, how, why, what and when, and the perspective is always widening. The tools and intellectual bagage stay the same. It’s a bit like mountaineering in fact. Climbing for the sake of climbing, being on the top admiring the view and realizing there is another mountain to climb… ;)

The Endless Questions
VS
The Endless Not
David PYou missed recursively spending time writing grant proposals to pay for searching for answers to questions that should have been spent searching for answers to questions.
Khleedril@pewnack @tomgauld.bsky.social You also missed that time in your life when you think, 'If I were ever going to answer these questions, I would have done it by now.'
银河消波块@tomgauld.bsky.social We also have quotes for this story. One is a realization of 庄子, he said: 吾生也有涯，而知也无涯。以有涯随无涯，殆已！Means: "My life is finite, and knowledge is infinite. Pursuing infinity with finity is exhausting." One is a conclusion made by 王国维 and the context is: 古今之成大事业、大学问者，必经过三种之境界： “昨夜西风凋碧树，独上高楼，望尽天涯路” 此第一境也； “ 衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴” 此第二境也； “ 众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处”此第三境也。Could be simply understood as "Those who had got great achievements all had gone through three stages."
Robin Barton@tomgauld.bsky.social and I would suggest any intelligent inquisitive human
Alberto Cottica@tomgauld.bsky.social looks like a good life to me.
CavyherdIn the fantasy novel I'm never going to finish, one's ranking in the spiritual discipline is measured by one's ignorance: the more senior one is, the less one knows.
Kailas Idavanmuzhi@tomgauld.bsky.social so does it mean there is GOD ?
Le Néandertal sous benzo@tomgauld.bsky.social where's the part in which they apply to grants and don't care anymore about anything else?
