(I could spend a few hours thinking about this…) (OK, for instance: if it’s true that our “explanations” — those elaborate structures we’ve built up in our minds to explain how our own lives work, or how life works — require “laws” — and yet one has to admit that it’s very unlikely that any laws we humans might derive from our explanations could actually be true enough to reflect the patterns (or non-patterns) of life, should we stop asking why questions? Must the attempt to answer them only lead us into absurdity?) (Should I try to not ask why for the rest of June? I’ll try, though I doubt it’s possible. But it might be neat to see what comes to replace it; if new things begin happening in my brain.) - quote from Professor Adam M. Goldstein’s blog
