It's really fascinating to hear this all get spun out. From the human side of things (wouldn't that be a worthy perspective!?), it turns out that people stuck in craving certainty and order gravitate to mathematical axioms and symmetries that are really primitive compared with where human experience has gone. These are people who have been denied their normal human emotional self-mastery, raised instead on obedience to artificial norms dictated by someone else. They're not grounded in the experience of natural reality, and are thus confused by it, craving this symmetry that collapses into a fractal reality. But we live in a quantum universe, folks, with simultaneous realities and entanglements, the uncertainty of the big bear around that rock, the hunter who get your prey first, slipping on a stream rock and getting swept over the falls. We have learned to deal with all these things, even to avoid them with our curiosity and self-mastery. I'm really sorry for all the people falling down the logical rabbit holes of libertarian thought -- what a sick and weak world to live in. No wonder they fall prey to irrational and murderous antagonism.
