Oh yes. By this logic: you cant explain anything unless you explain why there is anything instead of nothing.

- woodandsteel 10y agoAbsolutely. The basic problem is that, unless you are an absolute mystic and assume reality is basically a spirit and the human mind can unite with it completely, there is always a limit to human knowledge (as Merleau-Ponty said, materialism is also a metaphysical idealism). This is because any rational explanation ultimately rests on principles that we cannot explain, only accept. That is, human intelligence, the product of the human brain, is ultimately finite, limited. With quantum physics and consciousness, we may well have run up against such a limitation.
