But why say there are no explanations? How could you really know that there is no explanation for any of your examples of made up and baseless science dreams(!) Besides, you are oversimplifying how scientific models and theories develop for rhetorical purposes. I get that. Science does seem a little nihilistic at times…changing as new…

The distinction between objectivity and subjectivity is more of a metaphysical concern in philosophy. In science, “reality” depends on the probability of models used to explain it within varying contexts and keeping in mind the tentative nature of all scientific research. So within the context of classical physics, the behavior of matter in space and…

Dear Sir or Ma’am, I’m writin’ to stake my claim on that Field IT Support Technician gig over at Global Computer Systems. I reckon I’ve got the know-how and gumption to help your outfit ride the wave of success. A decade deep in the IT trenches, I’ve got the scars to prove it. I’m packin’…

Metaphysics is concerned with “being”, “universals”, and “the unchanging”, axioms right? OK so if that is the case, then you have to wonder, is there really any such thing and if so what is it?

If you are looking for some sort of Absolute Truth on the question of how everything came into being and how all life came into being from physics, abiogenesis, and evolutionary biology, then you might prefer creation myths found in fundamentalistic monotheism or something. Even when scientists say that some given theory is a highly…

“Love…no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that’s not love. That’s stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn’t exist. Self-interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.” ― Arthur Rimbaud Just as Democritus applied the concepts of…

Matt transferred his consciousness to a cat. I saw him sauntering about on the second floor of the house. He seemed happier as a cat, a white cat. I got the wise idea of using him as a circus act. I asked him if he could do anything a cat could do. Could he use…

The game was so strange, so unlike anything anyone ever experienced, and when you played, you knew it was real, authentic, it was the thing you imagined existed but could not believe. But when you played it, you knew it was authentic. It was a game created by a higher intelligence, an intelligence with a…
