Do you agree with the principle of sufficient reason?
I think that's a dangerous path to go down, because we're extending a pragmatic face-to-fact assumption (this thing must have a cause) to either an infinite regress, or a cheat: God or a philosophical quantity "X" that performs the paradox-resolving function of God. If we take paradox as essentially binary ("This sentence is false.") then I'd say the truth of PSR will just get sucked into that yin-yang vortex of bullshit: it's right, it's wrong, it's both right and wrong. . . but somehow really neither right nor wrong.

Or, in short, "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

But that doesn't stop me from looking at QM particles and saying. . . yeah, there's probably something underlying them.
