40. Ah! Time for philosophical woo...

1. I'm here because I experience myself being here. Whether that's reality or a disembodied mind is irrelevant, because this is reality as it presents itself to me. Engaging in solipsism won't change that, so what would be achieved by wasting time thinking about it?

2. See 1. The world (as I experience it) following understood laws and principles (gravity, biology, chemistry) while showing no sign of metaphysical or supernatural behavior. Again, I see no reason to waste time pondering whether (absent the evidence presented) it is otherwise, since the otherwise, if it exists, has no apparent effect on me.

3. I did not, for the same reason I have never determined absolutely that God/s do not exist. Since I have encountered neither God nor a "higher purpose" having an influence on me or expectation of me, I see no need to investigate the matter, any more that I see the need to investigate whether ugglecks exist.

4. See 3. I also do not need to "ponder" whether gravity exists; I experience it. Academic evidence has also been presented to me that it exists. I may (but do not) choose to ponder HOW it manifests itself, what causes it and how it might change, but then, I'm not a physicist. Why am I obliged to consider IF something higher exists if I do not observe or experience it.
