The Desire To Live In Our Imagination Is Driven By This Suspicion That We're Disembodied Sensibilities Cobbled Into Our Bodies. That Idea Has Infused Most Of Human Thought Since The Very Beginning.

I Really Like Science Because It Seems To Be That Place Where You Get The Big Picture, Everything Connects.
