I'm great at reading people, but it's hard to do online when I can't gauge their reactions and detect weakness/bullshit as well. Mind answering a few very simple questions first?
Sure go ahead. -

I would never, ever want to work in tech support, if i could pick a compsci job it would be in InfoSec, development or DevOps. Besides my career has nothing to do with my personality. It's in a STEM field though. So next question. -

It's a component, if you wouldn't mind being a little more specific than STEM that'd be great.
At what age did you become interested in computers? Video games growing up? -

Sorry, i am not in the business of volunteering personally identifiable information.

Age 10. But it took a bit longer before i got interested in the more technical aspects of computers. I did play video games, but 10 years ago i was browsing totse and other websites trying to gain knowledge i had/have an interest in. -

No finding in the field of physics could provide a complete account of the nature of knowledge, it seems to lack the vocabulary even to speak of knowledge. Even if knowledge is reducible to physical states of systems (like brains) it's certainly emergent at some super-physical level, akin to say emotions or conscious experience. Even further I don't think it's immediately obvious that the output of physics is knowledge at all. Predictive power is not, on all accounts, synonymous with knowledge. -

He asked about an absolute truth, not the nature of knowledge, unless you want to include the nature of knowledge as a requirement for an absolute truth. The absolute truth for me means the absolute truth about the Universe and nature, but perhaps i am wrong in not including the nature of knowledge in that equation. -
