Re: Is that attitude intelligent, not to go further than the big bang?
Hi, Yrreg.

Suppose you ask yourself the question that point that is the big bang, mathematics reached to that point, but your mind is not all mathematics is it?
That is what you have encapsulated your mind if you cannot think any further than you can do so with mathematics.
In many ways, mathematics is more reliable than anything else your brain does, so the part of your brain that doesn't think mathematically is going to be generally much less helpful than the part that does.

And censorship is not an intelligent attitude in anything that has to do with more knowledge.
Right, because the search for knowledge is improved substantially by indiscriminately incorporating all the crap that comes out of human brains.
