Perhaps you are right Platt, in the end any kind of investigation is limited by the learned tools of approach. I find the circles of philosophy to be equally dazzling and enjoyable. However, it doesn't mean that science can't be used as a path from which one can then leap and break free, provided one knows that is its purpose. Sometimes I am close to the edge, but fear insanity.
