In the middle of an afternoon, I found myself wondering whether I was wasting my twenties—and my life altogether. That led me to a simple but persistent question: How can I live an interesting life on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis?

Primary Function Reduce entropy (confusion, friction, waste) and increase…

One option: God exists to explain why something exists instead of nothing. Other option: the universe just exists with no deeper reason. Both options are logical. Choosing God means rejecting “no reason.” Rejecting God means accepting “no…
