Hello, welcome to space...

To discover the boundaries of one's ignorance is to chart the path to wisdom. We must suffer, suffer into truth. It is where we outgrow the problems we strive to solve.

That which can be destroyed by truth must fall, for only through such ruin can we clear the way for what truth nurtures to flourish. In this pursuit, we embrace the unknown, trusting that each revelation brings us closer to a world where understanding thrives.
