Eric writes: “Bears on how many things make up the machinery of nihilism, extending well beyond relations I recognized as part of an integration, though mentioning many things I rail against in daily life.”
The willingness of physicists to use uninterpreted models, e.g., quantum mechanics, seems like nihilism to me. I don’t mean that in a judgmental way, nor do I mean it in an admiring way. On the other hand, there are many people, I reckon most people, that provide their beliefs as both explanations and justifications. Bombs follow soon after. Marcus
