* is it One or is it Two?
Is it me, or is it you? Is it false, or is it true? Many things
can be explained by a bimodal or binary system. Everything, from
boolean logic to art, any system whose goal is to make a prediction.
** The Great Filter
No, not the one about aliens dying or something. I'm talking about the
everyday systems that you use in order to make predictions about the
world. For example, this one, that wants to explain everything.
*** The problem of explaining everything
Because this is indeed a system that explains everything, I must also
demonstrate why it might be impossible to explain everything. I'll
give the argument in a short set of syllogisms.
