Canteenmathics

I don’t believe in multiple universes.

Which is different to saying that they can’t exist.

All I’m saying is that I can’t imagine that we could ever detect them if they did exist, nor does their existential existence have any imaginable impact on mine.

So I’m not going to waste my existence being in any way concerned about them.

I don’t believe in wasting time on time wasting. Unless it’s in this universe of course.

Now to maths; to you mad physicists and philosophers I would say the more complex your maths, the more likely it is that you’re dissembling.

Or more specifically, the gap between my reality and your dream world gets bigger as your solutions expand in length.

In fact, there’s a little known branch of bistromathics, canteenmathics, which is specifically related to the reality prescribed to mathematical solutions that defy all possible experimental confirmation.

When it comes down to matters of faith, belief craves home comforts.

And faith is nothing if not the sum of confirmation biases of all the people you know, each individually weighted by the inverse of the cube power of the degree of separation.

Of course if all the people you know are in your field and spend all their time worrying about the gap between my reality and your dream world, then knock yourself out, mate.
