You could start with reading my Poison for the Heart and David Quinn's Wisdom of the Infinite.

What will you do once you have them?

Set up shop and sell them? Write some crappy books and persuade others into your manner of thought?

I'm just curious, ideally, what will you be doing with these petty things?

Are you claiming that you don't value truth and logic? If so, do you agree that we can safely ignore everything you are saying?

to desire them is to have them. to value them is to be possessed by them. popped corn permits no caps.

Socrates, a long time ago, explained why this is false. To desire anything is to want (and lack) that thing.

It takes all-conquering desire to reach, and continue after having accepted, the insight that nothing is ever gained or lost.

Such insights, and thus the qualities listed above, are obtained from desiring to get to the core of all things.
