hope is poor means of knowing, but it feels good

[psychrofon]

I had a good talk with DanDan (not Dan K) about ways of knowing. Basically, math is the best, but it is of course very limited. Then there is logic. Then science, then social science. Each way of knowing has broader application but less reliability. The last two are more interesting. Hope is a way of knowing that is grounded very little in reality
