  1. thanks for the link, I appreciate that the respondent was explicit that he was betting on speculations about the coming of a unified theory that we don’t have, tho not sure why anyone in science would bet on “common-sense” experiences of daily life given all we know about how blinkered cognition/experience is, maybe the two are related and he is making the same kind of hunch based bet we get from all the folks talking about “Information” as some kind of grand organizer?
