On Scientific Rigour

I've already realized that a sort of theme has begun to develop... one which I didn't necessarily intend. There's an anti-scientific feel to the workings of the universe and the philosophers of the universe. This is strictly unintentional; however, it seems necessary.

The purpose of this project is to illuminate a surreal and mysterious universe. A world which follows a well-defined (that is, scientifically discoverable) set of rules cannot be both surreal and mysterious.

While I do have anti-rationalist tendencies, the expression of said leanings is not the purpose of this project.

Also, to completely confuse the whole universe, On Scientific Rigour by Borges should be considered a part of this universe. Consider it De Quincey's Writings, XXV:lxv (b). I daren't write part a, although you may see more of XXV
