2. That is, in itself, a troubling starting place.

Pretty good chance, the universe is, in fact, a hologram.

(But not in the sense of a piece of software running on some giant computer outside the known universe. Rather, in a particle physics sort of way)


"But Love is not a puzzle that can be "solved" with "evidence"; it is a reality that grows, in beauty and complexity, the longer you live with it."

I would like to know more about this. What does that mean? Does it suggest love is an emotion apart or somehow different from other emotions? We've got all that mapped out pretty good, actually. Not only can we tell you what and where in the brain that sort of thing happens, but what sort of damage might impede or even eliminate it. How we might restore it by various therapies.

Love, and all emotions I experience can, in my judgment, be quantified very precisely. So I don't understand that point.
