And-but

Hello,

1.I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.

Is 'and' correct here?

In my opinion, 'but' makes more sense.

Thanks.

hanuman_2000 Is 'and' correct here? The two clauses are not necessarily in contrast with each other, so both 'and' and 'but' are fine depending on the idea that speaker needs to convey.
