dhw: (Anyway, I thought you were opposed to people imagining other universes.) Perhaps we are here through the deliberate planning of an eternal, unknown mind which created 100-plus thousand million galaxies and made ours special, and organized our little dot of a planet to receive the benefits of his nano-engineering. Or perhaps we just struck lucky. When we contemplate the potential realities of eternity, we are all infinitely out of our depth. But we keep looking for answers all the same, and doesn't that make you proud to be human?-Yes I am proud to be human and not surprised we are here, considering all the evidence taht it was planned. Strassler's point is that he claims it is very unseful in understanding our universe and the way it is made up by imaginning others. That seems to open up insights otherwise not thought of.
