- haswell 3y agoWe’re all just playing an extremely complex language game and assigning labels to phenomena with increasing granularity as our knowledge and ability to measure things and create accurate world models increases. But at the bottom of it all, we have no idea what any of it is. The map is not the territory, and primordial existence has no current explanation. This isn’t synonymous with endorsing untenable metaphysical beliefs, but points to the fact that we still have enormous gaps in our understanding.
