C2, I'm all for figuring out "Why?". The underlying foundation is the four forces of the apocalypse; gravity, strong and weak forces and electromagnetic. All derives from those and their interactions. I am starting a religion based on the undeniable truth. Please send girls and money. You have to wear the standard hat if you are a believer.

<Consciousness and its development, caused by the breakdown of the bicameral mind as our skulls became larger and our brains more complex and therefore more functional, have all lead to curiosity as to why we're here, a question I don't think we can answer and perhaps ought to stop asking given our inadequacies. Nothing but foolishness, death, and despair have resulted from our curiosity about the impenetrable. >

I wouldn't say that. We are making great progress. Sure, some superstitious wacos disrupt proceedings, but nature sorts out the wheat from the chaff. Evolution and intellectual development are relentless. Heck, we even had a case of the laws of physics being breached by QUALCOMM in making CDMA work. And Irwin was reading "The Elegant Universe" a few years ago, presumably for entertainment, but perhaps also to pull one more rabbit out of the hat.
