Case, yep I said you'd lost me ...

.... so far as we know ... you said. I can see that you are simply
being pragmatic ... as individuals that is the best we can do ... but
as would-be-philsophers (or individuals with "examined lives") surely
that pragmatism has to extend over wider ranges and timescales than
just us, now ?

That's where you come over cock-sure of the here and now hard-stuff
(hark who's talking) and dismissive of the mystical stuff.

Perhaps you should "get a life" lie flat on your back in a field (with
or without stimulants) and look up at those stars once in a while ...
did you ever read the story of how Douglas Adams came to write H2G2 ?

I feel a chorus of Bohemian Rhapsody coming on.
