Propagating the ol' meme

Hey, it used to work on my students. :)

1) No. It only explains phenomena about which falsifiable predictions can be made.
2) No. It only (meaningfully) discusses phenomena about which falsifiable predictions can't be made.
3) Nothing, meaningfully. Science and religion could each explain subsets of their respective domains, but there's too much of "everything" to be explicable. (By which I mean, any explanation would be sufficiently complicated as to be incomprehensible, and therefore not much of an explanation - both in the general metaphorical sense, and the rather specific Godel's First Theorem sense. Even assuming a simple underlying principle, the complexity inherent in understanding the composite everything is so great that simple knowledge of the principle is still only a very tiny part of the problem as a whole, in the same way that atomic physics doesn't tell you much of value about the turbulent flow of water.)

But you can learn interesting things about the subsets, at least. :)

I have yet to be convinced that kabbalah can explain anything. Although it gives wonderful metaphors for more serious things.

What else would you do? Do you think I should do something? Don't they help to pass the time?

1. Yonatan Zunger
2. Babylon... no... aaargh!
3.

1. 42.
2. Why?
3. Sure.

1. Food which I have brought myself, or on a long journey, that acquired by fair trade or the common practice of the land. And nothing at a court affair.

2. To keep a steady but gentle flow of dreams moving from the slumbering world to the waking, of course.

3. My name is kept in a well-hidden place, inscribed on a stone stele in an ancient alphabet, hidden in a duck's egg, hidden in a box, hidden in a sun, hidden absolutely nowhere, since I have the sense not to write down my name.

Wha?

Thus?

Otherwise...?
