Another very interesting and well written read, thank you.

'Belief systems' I think to be a very dangerous term. I much prefer to have a knowledge system in which I can catagorically define as what I can at least be sure is 99.99% factual and more importantly, if I can't answer a question, absolutely accept that there is currently no answer rather than create a belief system to explain it which is basically what all the 'religions' have done throughout history.

This, in my opinion has quashed genuine research as people simply follow 'leaders' who appear to have more knowledge than their own knowledge and it's people who are always the weak link. Thankfully, genuine free thinkers persue knowledge through research and experience rather than just hypothesise which is what religion has done as well as people like David Icke who has put himself out there with his own suggested narrative.

I accept that it will most likely be never possible that I will learn what happens to humans after what we know as 'death', or ever have an explanation of how big the universe is or how it started. Others do, and research this while others just hypothesise.

I am happy you are so comfortable in your beliefs and are able to adapt and reshape them as you learn but the problem is, so few can and remain rigid and unable to. This is very bad.

Hope you're well young man. What an interesting history fella. Paignton. I used to love my holidays as a child there. Thanks for the memory jog :-)
