Whoa. This is uncharacteristically (for Shinzen) negative in affect.
It's his Buddhist predisposition to think that Reality is Nothing . . . taken too far.
"Not knowing" . . . doesn't mean you can't know ANYTHING. It only means you never know EVERYTHING.
Sheesh -- don't get discouraged (!)
Some things you know. Some you don't. But you can always come to know what you don't already.
Reality is willing to be known by us.
The "desire to know" . . . is an invitation to it.

Shinzen's words really resonate..."the need to know" is my own challenge. Excellent!
