you come across as a person stretching and pushing against the boundaries of what you know/don't know. Yes! Both fascinate me. Not so much the epistemology, but the practical application of the end result. Believe it or not I seek only invalidation - logical conclusions which differ from my own in which I can learn from - I don't have much to work with here. That said, I appreciate that you recognize what it is I actually do.
you said it takes you an incredible amount of time and energy. :) And that may be a bit of an understatement. I use every method at my disposal for these purposes, up to and including my reliance upon Nocturnal Subconscious Processing (http://ehowton.livejournal.com/423398.html) both emotional and logical. I know that if I don't understand something elusive, a night of sleep will help me sort it out :)
