I think this site is too austere, visually, right now. You need a little something going on up at the top, instead of leaping right into your post. Maybe a little something on the left margin too. Not clipart, not flashy things, not even necessarily color. Just start with a clearer (I mean, bigger) transition between your header thingy about Metametadata and the actual Post. Maybe pictures of cute puppies. Like a whole row of them chasing the next one's tail or something. Some can chase balls, some can be doing little pudgy puppy somersaults...

Okay, and the actual content? Alright. So you're talking about this need to understand the "truth" as if it is an essential human striving. What of the people who don't believe there is a "truth," let's call them minimalists, who look at the world around them and think that perhaps that world, mysteries and all, is enough? Maybe these are people who don't think there's a pattern or reason underneath it all. Or maybe they think that part of the nature of the pattern/reason is that it is inscrutable. These people, who move from one day to the next without maybe thinking much about the Universe and Reality and Humanity and Truth, are these people lazy? Apathetic? Insipid? Rob, I wonder if you think it is possible, or morally acceptable, to accept the Mystery without trying to solve it.
