Do people still read philosophical writings by the likes of Plato and Socrates?
This piece like quite a few others is a kind of musings which many find interesting and PG doesn't claim it to be scientific.
There are areas of human interests that lie well outside our scientific capabilities. People should be allowed to speculate on them. Reasonable conjectures often precede solid evidence/proofs in math and science.
This reminds me of:
"PhD student, c.2020:
Here’s a limited argument I made based on years of specialized research. Hope it’s OK
Philosopher dude, c.1770:
Here are some Thoughts I had in the Bath. They constitute Universal & Self-Evident Laws of Nature. FIGHT ME."
