Yes, well, I hope we don't end up talking about the nature of truth (or consciousness for that matter), but anyway, for me searching for truth (or facts, more like) is more enjoyable than settling down for certain truths for good. I take pleasure from the journey, it's fascinating and has kept me busy for all my life. If I couldn't pursue that personal quest for learning and understanding (while feeling at the same time that the more I know the less I know), and communicating with other people about all of that, I'd go mad.
So yes, it's a bit pointless in terms of getting any results, but what the hell. It's fun.
