Questing for truth

What I do is so much about personal motivation should be noted which motivated this post, to note. And even explaining is hard where did not even really have enough of the concepts in mind in the past, let alone getting much approval, by standard means.

Imagine you spend relentless hours day after day for YEARS working at something where part of you thinks you know why, until it gets really hard. And even when you feel you have success? There is a new wrinkle as you have to learn how to talk it to others.

That can be fun! Better to make it be. As that's the search for truth when you're making tools up as you go along, like inventing your own mathematical discipline. Or defining science, functionally. Or wow, trying to work out how much your ideas about entertainment?

Are changing--the real world.

And you get dragged along a lot, by your ideas.

Or at least I know I did. Until got too tired of that to not work harder to understand.

When your challenging reality makes you, worry might break you, and wonder how you found solid ground.

Truth becomes a word muttered, over and over. The search then becomes also to maintain sanity.

Started out one way, kind of as a lark, and figured some things out. Then found out that with the web, attention can be pulled to you, without that making much sense for some time. And without traditional external validation from establishment humans, worked hard at finding that solid ground.

So got practical. Like I needed a functional definition of mathematical proof. Of course I did, to check my math.

And learned the true power of skepticism: Don't really know I have a solid idea until try rejecting it, and tossing it away, and it does not even notice.

Ideas do not care. Best ideas CHANGE things, with or without your approval.

Figured out techniques for handling goals to try and keep up with things. And creativity? Starts getting wild. Like search: short timeline reachable goals

And web lets you know when across a world, in so many places, there are those paying attention, even when you're not sure why.

But better with them, even so abstract, than left with just your thoughts and endless questions that drive your mind. Refining, and honing skills. Searching relentlessly...for something. Truth.

The framework of process eventually becomes your way of staying just ahead, of the adventure, as questing for truth? Becomes your life's quest.
