It's Christmas. Don't talk dirty.

There is an easy answer to why all this stuff is around and how it operates. It's called the Ether-Oare Thesis, after the two founders Dr. Ephem Ether and Professor Eral Oare who constantly disagreed but found that taking dually opposed positions resulted in a usable position. It operates by disjuncting the first proponent of the thesis, then using his position as a conjunction and subjecting the antithesis of the resultant proposition to the second scientist's position as another conjunctive part. A solution results from this

This is known as binary decision making.

ergo:

Ether there is stuff, Oare there is not.
Ether it moves Oare it does not.
Ether there is intelligence, Oare there is not.
Ether it continues, Oare it does not.

All you have to do is take any path through the tree, and you have your universe. One path has more probability than the others.

No Stuff = Nobody to worry about it.
Stuff does not move = Still nobody to worry about it.
No intelligence = Again, not an issue.
No continuance = No reliability to anything. We must be in LA.

Why are we all here?

Because we are not all there.
