So Joe, it floats your boat but what then? What do you do with all that knowledge and insight? You teach here, in a sense, and it seems like you'd do that anywhere - ultimately, is the value in gaining the knowledge or passing it on? (which would then kind of fall under the Casey-Love-Team) Or is there another use for it? Do you invent things or make things or write books or what? (What I mean is that it floats my boat too but it seems more like a step than a result.)
What is it that keeps the nihilism at bay?
