Re: does the pointlessness of your life bother you?
Mushashi, QM should convince just about anyone that we can never really know that much at all about anything.
Philosophical ideas are actually contracting, not expanding. 2500 years ago Aristotle tackled everything from the anatomy of the frog to the acceleration of falling bodies to politics to ethics to chemistry to epistemology. Over the years, more and more of these sciences have branched off into their own, and philosophy has been left with the remains. Actually, not much new ground has been broken since Kant in the basic questions.
