Yes the multiple...Intellectual gymnastics is right. Yes the multiple universes thing <i>might</i> be true, but I think it's logic gone wrong. A reflection of logic, not logic itself.<br /><br />It makes me think of a man standing in between two mirrors, seeing a tunnel of his own reflections. He's so busy staring down the tunnel, making connection after connection, he loses himself. He mistakes his actual body for yet another reflection. Or he forgets he is moving the reflections, not the reflections moving him.<br /><br />That analogy might be weird, but it makes sense in my head. Because it's what happens when someone ignores their own gut feeling for the sake of "scientific integrity." As if it's unbiased and enlightened to create a paradigm where we are meaningless when everything inside us screams that we are so very significant.<br /><br />And if we are meaningless, if we are an accidental success, how is it safe to assume that we can understand what we are? It's like saying, "Logically I am illogical."Jaimie Teekellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07845537262456320501noreply@blogger.com
