		<description><![CDATA[I heard someone on the radio yesterday say, &#8220;That&#8217;s the scientific bias: If you don&#8217;t know what causes something, then it doesn&#8217;t exist.&#8221; That is not the scientific bias. The scientific bias says no more and no less than, &#8220;If you don&#8217;t know why something is happening, then you should develop a hypothesis about why [...]]]></description>

How can anyone take this seriously?&#8221; These posts may be meaningless, absurd, and frivolous to you. But maybe I&#8217;m not talking to you.

		<description><![CDATA[Jerry Garcia once said something like, &#8220;You have to remember that we live in a world without a Grateful Dead.&#8221; It&#8217;s an interesting perspective. When you are the Grateful Dead, you are known to millions and adored by many. You are an object in the world of your fans and followers. But in your own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard someone today say, &#8220;Nowadays, good enough just isn&#8217;t good enough.&#8221; I disagree. Good enough, by definition, is good enough. If it weren&#8217;t good enough, then it wouldn&#8217;t be. But behind the statement is a more general cultural consensus that one should never &#8220;settle for less&#8221; and, instead, strive for the amazing. &#8220;Go big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We live in three worlds. The first world is the world of our direct experience. I consider this the &#8220;really real&#8221; world; it&#8217;s literally where we live. That being said, I consider our dreams as integral part of this world. The second world is the world of our knowledge. This is both a mediated world—we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I tell my wife I&#8217;m depressed, she&#8217;ll often ask, &#8220;Why?&#8221; I usually explain that, at least for me, depression is rarely a response to some negative event. If it were, I would call it &#8220;sadness&#8221; or &#8220;unhappiness&#8221; or &#8220;disappointment.&#8221; Depression, by contrast, is an all-permeating negative attitude or perspective, probably stemming from a genetically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t say that I believe in God, but I do believe that there is a real reality. Yes, I&#8217;ve heard about relativity and multiple universes and even the astral plane. And, yes, I understand that seen at a certain scale, &#8220;reality&#8221; gets kind of indeterminate. But at this macro-level, there is usually one and [...]]]></description>
