I think I'm not high enough to understand Can you elaborate what you mean by stuff interacting with stuff?
There is medication for this you know.
But all I'm saying is I assume there is a real world out there, composed of stuff with properties ripe for discovery. Those properties interact with the properties of other stuff in ways dictated by those properties in ways which are also ripe for discovery. Though ripe, none of these discoverable things are necessarily discoverable or understandable by us. Here I'm deliberately leaving "stuff" defined vaguely as whatever it is that is out there. But, on faith, I accept that stuff is out there and did not require being cobbled together out of nothing and its dials set to precise constants for the sake of making life possible in exceedingly rare goldilocks zones scattered throughout the cosmos. To further elaborate my whacked out philosophy, I also assume that there never was a pure nothing but only pre-existing states receding back into forever.
I know, I'm a radical. Don't shun me.
