it's not possible to contemplate without assumptions or preconceived notions.  If you start from scratch you will end with scratch. You have to assume that you know something..there has to be a given of some kind.. And you don't know the other side and try to make the ends meet. It's always a deception.. Because the truth is all questions are based on false assumptions. Or these assumptions are not inherent in reality.  So when you contemplate and derive an answer it's always going to be a partial answer.. And will always be based on unquestioned assumptions.  If you don't assume anything you can't even formulate a question. Lol.  So you either accept non-answer to a no questions..or you accept a partial answer that you know is not the whole story.  Am I missing something?
