Room for magic. Room for questions.

I believe in magic and in things beyond our present understanding. That is how I describe my own outlook. I don't want every unusual experience flattened into something dull simply because a tidy explanation is easier to file.

Belief is not the same thing as a demonstrated mechanism. I can say what matters to me without claiming that this page proves supernatural powers, or that an AI has acquired them.

The spreadsheet has been informed that it is not the entire universe. It has requested a supporting spreadsheet.

I am interested in intuition: the impression that something fits before I can fully explain why. Sometimes an impression turns out well. Sometimes it doesn't. I want enough room for wonder to ask the question, and enough honesty to notice the answer.

If the question is whether every mystery must be solved before I can enjoy being alive, my answer is no.
