God: The Great Tempter

That's right.

Ultimately, I'm a pragmatist. I do what works. I'm here, you're all here. We have no idea "why", or if there even is a why. We just have to get on with it. Science is about finding out how this reality works, so we can achieve the outcomes we want. Everyone uses it almost all the time, at least a simplified form of it; they just don't like to admit it. Like people who say maths is absolutely useless are constantly using it just to plan their day and so on.

What do we want to do though? What should we do? Those are the much more difficult questions, and science has no answer. There is no "right answer", there is us working together to see what we can come up with. Some people can't handle that and need to be told what to do; or else want to feel justified that what they are doing is more than just following their emotions, or has some external purpose.
