Because I have this underlying belief that it should make sense, even though the world comes at you in many ways and tells you nothing should make sense. But if you believe that it makes sense, then you look for underlying logic. And I think that's just good advice for everything, to try to find why it is the way it is.

I talk about effective theory in my second book, Not Going to Heaven's Door, a lot. Rather than ask the big questions, sometimes we just ask the questions about the immediate things that we can measure. Like I said, we can sometimes tell one that will fail, but we can have these effective theories.

Sometimes I think, you know, when we approach these big questions, it's good to do it from an effective theory point. You know, why do I find this satisfying? Why is the world we have the way it is? We think things are beautiful that we live in. I mean, you know, I'm not sure if we had different senses or different ways of looking at things, we wouldn't necessarily find it beautiful.

But I have to say, it is kind of fantastic that no matter how many times I see a sunset, I will always find it beautiful. It's like, I don't think I ever see a sunset and say, whatever. It's just always beautiful. And so there are things as humans clearly resonate with us, but we were maybe evolved that way. That's about us.
