This is an important topic, and I appreciate your voice in this discussion. I certainly sympathize regarding the "wandering" approach to knowledge.
Discovery is not a linear process, and attempts to streamline intellectual exploration simply collapse into intellectual mechanization. Wandering requires uncertainty and an open-minded receptivity to the manifold of possibility. Wandering requires constantly integrating different perspectives to navigate complex circumstances. Understanding wandering is essential for life because life is always changing. We cannot cling to one fixed perspective (especially perspectives bent on unthinking self-reproduction) and hope to survive.
