We as humans have an affinity with deep ideas. You see it here on this website, you see it in films or novels, you see it in your own musing; yet rarely are these speculations practically worthwhile, so what is it for? Maybe it's our way of explaining to ourselves this inexplicable world; or perhaps it's really our way of escaping it, catching our trains of thought all the way to a new reality, one made predictable by our quixotically-generalised formulas. I mean, just reread this quote.
