Journal pyrrho's Journal: Beyond Good And Evil : aphorism 1

Why do we really want "truth"? This is a fair question among philosophers, scholers and scientists, at least, who have generally advocated for truth. Within Nietzsche's framework the issue is "will to truth", and a series of "strange, wicked and questionable questions" have come before us. All right then! Bring on the strange wicked questionable questions.

Nietzsche has us question what is the value of this will to truth? Why not rather untruth? uncertainty? ignorance?

Ok, that is a bit wicked and questionable.
