There Will be NO Evidence of Me

I've come to accept that probably not too long after I pass away, a few centuries max, there will be no evidence that I ever existed on this planet.  No historical records, nothing.  Everything will be wiped out.  The same will occur with millions of others.  That's just how it is.  We can only keep up with so many people and after a while the less noteworthy things will not be kept up with and eventually be totally forgotten.

Because there's no evidence of me any longer at that time, does that mean I never existed?  It sure feels like I did.  After all, I have a life I certainly enjoy today, whether or not it is considered noteworthy.

Reasonableness - More Value-Based Than Fact-Based

We have no scientific way to measure how reasonable something is, so even though it sounds strange, we must conclude that reasonableness is more rooted in value than in fact.  Sometimes I think reasonableness is a preference for facts, but even a preference for facts would be considered a value and not a fact itself.

Why do people prefer logic to emotion?  Probably because it's closer to truth.  But why do they like truth?  Probably for an emotional reason.
