Here's a link to The Point, for anyone interested. The point of The Point is the discovery that one doesn't need to have one, at least not a visible and fixed one. And that in turn was one of the high points of the G group's last Thursday discussion (as I at least remember it). Maybe the "search for truth" isn't the point of science or of humanities, or of history/social studies either? If not, what animates any of them? Maybe biological evolution can give us a new way of thinking about these things? Is it necessarily "less comforting knowing that evolution is a random process because one is not able to control or predict the outcome"? Maybe that's an appealing feature not only of biological evolution but of science/humanities/social science as well? The crack that allows for creation of what has not yet been?
