Oh, snap! Sir, you have truly won my respect. I thought that you'd abandoned the glory of such corruption: I am glad to see that I was mistaken.

You can choose to live that way of course, but when you realize where it leads if you take it all the way, you basically just end up concluding that all of reality might be an illusion, and you end up at subjective reality.

I think that is a rather far-fetched stance.

If we had such a polarity of skepticism, we would still be dancing to the rain god, because sometimes, when we do, it rains.

Science has studied theories and laws which we all abide by, and always leaving room for spirituality, if not enhancing it.

I just think there ought to be a balance between total nihilism and accepting mind signals of doubtful origins.
