Dis-investing is not necessarily discounting. It's simply like not putting money on a horse, to not gamble. It doesn't mean I think the horse is going to lose.

By dis-investing in beliefs I'm simply eliminating inherent biases so I can approach situations neutrally. That neutrality is what allows novelty, including novel experiences.

It is not my contention that formal knowledge is wrong, only that there is always going to be more to it than any conclusion can convey and those limitations cause assumptions and errors.

No conclusion is absolute. A conclusion is an ending. All endings are relative. Thus all conclusions are merely rational, not logical.
