Is this about meta-intellectuality or personal motivation? Or both?

By "this," do you mean the quote from How To Do Research, or my saying it's regrettably that I try to optimize breakfast? Not sure I understand your question

Ha! No, I wasn't commenting on your breakfast routine. :) I was just wondering aloud whether the "doubt that theorems prove anything" implied purely intellectal doubt or a more emotional proclivity that was kind of deep-seated.

In my case both. I think the quip was originally Phil Agre’s.
