Then we presumed our galaxy, the Milky Way, was the entire known universe, until we established that the countless fuzzy things in the sky are other galaxies, dotting the landscape of our known universe.

Today, how easy it is to presume that one universe is all there is. Yet emerging theories of modern cosmology, as well as the continually reaffirmed improbability that anything is unique, require that we remain open to the latest assault on our plea for distinctiveness: multiple universes, otherwise known as the “multiverse,” in which ours is just one of countless bubbles bursting forth from the fabric of the cosmos.”

Well, if that works for you, and helps you live a happy life, have at it. Doesn't work for me. I don't know though, I don't think that you'd want everyone around you thinking "screw that hippie" when the time came that you needed their help, support, or just general comfort. Sometimes though, when something is important enough to your own personal happiness -and the people around you simply refuse to understand that- well, I suppose you don't have much of a choice then eh?

(on the other hand, has it ever occurred to you that their stubborn refusal might actually be an expression of "screw everybody else -this is what makes me happy!")

This is basically libertarianism.
