Qexigator notes Jimmy Wales's pov (Recorded Aug 10, 2007) [11]: ... what makes life worth living, is having creativity and productivity, building things that are useful. (Recorded On: Aug 10, 2007) _Comment:Zachary Wolk: the concept of some "Objective Truth" negates Subjective Idealism, this only addresses one element of truth.
